A new race rules the planet. The land has been lost and the last survivors live silently, in hiding and in fear of capture. The people were decimated, but their bodies are still alive, now being inhabited by a form of alien consciousness. And when humans and souls meet there is always death for one of the parties. However, some souls found redemption right in the midst of their human enemies. They have now found their home. And the soul named Cal is one of them. As the hatred is still latent, there is not always acceptance. Samantha Collins has been hardened by time and learned that she shouldn't trust anyone. There is no room for feelings in this new era. Taking care of her brother and staying alive is her only goal. Which makes the forced coexistence with the humans hiding in Jeb's cave even more difficult, even more so after realizing that someone she loves is now just the body Peregrina uses. But as fate is paradoxical, it likes to play tricks on us. And so, for Cal and Sam, love can be found where you least expect it.
