Sixteen-year-old Lyric Walkerâs life is forever changed when she witnesses the arrival of 30,000 Alpha, a five-nation race of ocean-dwelling warriors, on her beach in Coney Island. The worldâs initial wonder and awe over the Alpha quickly turns ugly and paranoid and violent, and Lyricâs small town transforms into a military zone with humans on one side and Alpha on the other.Â
When Lyric is recruited to help the crown prince, a boy named Fathom, assimilate, she begins to fall for him. But their love is a dangerous one, and there are forces on both sides working to keep them apart. Only, what if the Alpha are not actually the enemy? What if they are in fact humanityâs best chance for survival?Â
Because the real enemy is coming. And itâs more terrifying than anything the world has ever seen.
