Even the stars mourn . . . Earth is but a shadow of itself as three Humans begin to pick up the pieces of war-torn Earth and their shattered lives. Kayin Aves finds herself on Selucia with no word on whether or not she'll be able to return to her beloved planet. With such uncertainty, her fears cause her to push away any La'Mursian that might help her fight for Earth. The inner strength she finds within her new world's teachings gives her hope she can put an end to this war. When Beenishia set up a base camp for survivors, she knew the place would be a target--but she didn't calculate the full cost. Henry and Melissa realize that war is more than just gunfire and explosions. Psychological tactics threaten to tear the survivors apart and end the fragile bond forming between what's left of the La'Mursians and Humans. Is it too late to save Earth, or is this just the beginning of the end of them all?
