Alexandra Watson has lived an unextraordinary yet fulfilling life for almost sixteen years, and she wouldn't mind keeping it that way. On the day of her sixteenth birthday, however, she is gifted with an ominous package from an anonymous sender that radically transforms her life from routine to electrifying. She finds herself trapped on the warring planet of Mir in which her only options are to fight or die. Struggling to escape certain doom and find a way back home, she meets twelve unlikely friends. As they grapple to survive the monstrous ways of the people of Mir, they discover that fate is more than a myth, and it has a plan for them all.
