Alyssira Beaulieu had a full ride to college, a loving grandmother, and a troubled older sister to take care of. Then the bombs fell.
Three hundred years after the destruction, she awakes in the streets of an unfamiliar Boston in a whole new body. Lost and buffeted by shock, she searches for help but instead ends up in the hands of the city’s most dangerous gang. A strange boy who goes by the name of Prophet from the Moon rescues Alyssira and leads her to his home, a compound of soldiers led by an ambitious young captain and her handsome lieutenant. Alyssira has only one goal: to survive. She imagines a second chance at life in the refuge, falling in love, training as a soldier, and becoming an older sister to Prophet.
But a cosmic entity threatens her dreams when it reveals she is part of an order of intergalactic guardians called Curators, souls of the dead infused into supernatural bodies. It instructs her to cross a perilous wasteland to Toronto to find a journal capable of stopping elites living in cities on the Moon from selling Earth to an alien race within ten years. But the captain plans to attack the compound’s enemies and needs Alyssira’s help, too. Now loyal to her new family, Alyssira must decide whether to fight for her compound’s future or abandon her loved ones to fulfill her purpose as Curator of Earth.
