From the number one New York Times best-selling author of the
Reckoners series, the Mistborn trilogy, and the Stormlight Archive comes
the third book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the
stars to save the world she loves from destruction.
Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from
ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human
enclave of Detritus, and she saved her people from extermination at the
hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding
them captive for decades. What's more, she traveled light-years from
home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she
learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home.
Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on
dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa's
seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient,
mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an
instant. Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there
is no defeating this predator.
Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something
eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she's able to figure out what
she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war.
She could save the galaxy.
The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave
behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever
return.
To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.
