Orlando Holmes, Cadence Sinclair, JD Smith, and his sister Angela, have been fighting in the Alturan battle on Earth for a while. Over the past six months, they've had everything they've ever believed in be tested and forged an unbreakable bond.

That bond is tested to a new degree as they learn of a way to be "normal" again. First, the Alturans must try their new technology out on their enemies. As the war grows more intense between the Alturan tribes, so do the relationships between the teens. Each must give up something in order to gain, and each must come to terms with the betrayals they'll need to commit in the name of war.
