In 2006 of an alternate universe, aliens invade Earth. They’re bent on enslaving the human race for their vampirish appetites. They meet resistance in the way of five young men and women trained well by their mentor—A member of the invading race dedicated to uniting the worlds for the betterment of the galaxy. But as the warriors progress in their fight, they learn every story has two sides, and no one turns to desperate conquest overnight. What more is there to the the planet known as Cinder and the beings known as Icari? And what agents are driving the collision of these worlds? Rayne, Sagan, Tameka, Kyle, and Andrew adjust to life in the apocalypse. Having failed to prevent it, they must pull their resources to turn back the tide and save Earth. This isn't going to be easy. They need to combine resistance forces, amass an army, and earn their place in the galactic-wide effort to stop the King of Cinder before he can further spread devastation. Somewhere in there, they need to convince Enki to grant them nacres and technological aid to combat the extremely advanced Night Army. This presents its own set of obstacles for them to overcome. Luckily Xelan and The Brethren are there to help along the way. Recover. Regroup. Resist. This is the only way. Can they encourage humanity to rise against the Icarean invasion and convince Enki there may be another way than pure annihilation? Or will Nox's threat on the Progeny, the Earth, and the galaxy prove too strong to oppose?
