It's 2203 and earth is dying, scorched by the sun. Initiate Leon is a member of the True Path warrior culture and preparing for his Rising. But when his test comes - to kill in cold blood - he stalls. To redeem himself, he and his resourceful servant, Martha, must journey to find the earth's fifth and final message from the Saviours.
Leon realises he is part alien, part human and in grave danger from those who want to investigate his unique abilities. High-octane young adult science-fiction for Patrick Ness fans.
