Only a senior in high school, Rayne fights to stop the invasion of Earth by ancient, merciless beings hell-bent on enslaving humanity for compatible blood.

She spent the last four years training to fight Nox, ruler of the invading race. His desire for vengeance against the planet that denied his ambitions is as great as his thirst for carnage.

Rayne must overcome the mind games, push through the pain, and lead her friends into dangers unknown to defeat the king of Cinder.

The fate of the human race depends on her preventing the incursion beginning in her unexceptional high school. If she can turn the tide and send the first invasion force back to where it came, the world may never know how close it came to annihilation. If she fails, Nox will cast the world in the shadow of his opulent, black wings.
