The series is finished, and it isn't just for young adults!

In every revolution there are heroes and there are casualties.


Skye Van Bloem is in an impossible situation. The depraved king of the Beholders, Pruet, has her friends and a lethal virus. He'll exchange them for Starion-the man she loves.


But things are about to get even worse. Skye is on her father's planet, Vanger. It may be scenic and peaceful, but it's home to her ugliest nightmare, and she's about to meet it.


Meanwhile, on the environmentally ravaged planet of the Beholders, Skye's friend Janine is helping to develop a vaccine for Pruet's virus at the hidden insurrectionist base. Time is running out for the revolutionary forces. So is the food.


While the Beholder and Vanger people rise up in war and protest, General Tane and his Falco Eskadron forces prepare to embark on a dangerous mission. The cost for failure? Another climate apocalypse and the destruction of three planets.
