Sixteen-year-old Helia wants two things in life: to step out of her over-protective mother’s shadow and become an engineer, and to stop hiding her relationship with alien boy Kalo. But the world definitely isn’t ready for a human-alien romance. And worse, the human-alien partnership is crumbling. Humans are arrested without explanation. Some of them are never seen again.
When the alien leader imprisons her mother on a false charge, Helia discovers the aliens never intended to help humans at all. Now, she must join forces with alien rebels. If she succeeds, humans have a chance at survival and she has a chance at love. If she fails, the dwindling human race dies out in slavery.
When the aliens arrived, they were hailed as the saviors of a dying Earth and dwindling human race. But the aliens didn’t come to help. Now, one human girl’s ingenious invention and one alien boy’s awakened heart are humanity’s last hope…
Helia’s Shadow Part One: Into Darkness is a full-length novel (approximately 290 pages).
Reviews
“[A]n amazing story filled with adventure and intrigue…. so full of action and emotions that you cannot help but be captivated. I highly recommend Helia’s Shadow Part One to anyone who liked Divergent or The Hunger Games. Helia reminds me of strong heroines like Tris (Divergent) and Katniss (The Hunger Games), but she is her own amazing character.” –Ivey Byrd (The Hopeless Reader review blog)
“Anyone who liked The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, Enclave by Ann Aguirre, or Legend by Marie Lu will want to read Helia’s Shadow.” –Julie B.
“Helia’s Shadow is a breath of fresh air that we all need…. recently every science fiction book I have read has been similar, with the same story lines and plot twists. Helia’s Shadow however was different…. kept me up till dawn, on the edge of my seat and craving more of this incredible story.” –Kat Silver (Kat Silver review blog)
“It captured my attention from the first chapter and within a few hours I was already halfway through it. It almost pained me to set the book down, that’s how good it is.” –Ashley (Hyper Ashley review blog)
