The Birthday Children have prepared as best they can against this alien armada. With these opponents finally defeated, Em and her people realized that more threats were coming, traveling from across the universe to lay claim to their planet.

and, as evil corrupted their numbers, even against themselves. The Birthday Children fought for survival against the elements, jungle wildlife, the "Grownups" who created them. Instead, they found the ruins of a massive city long since swallowed by the jungle. They thought they would find an uninhabited paradise. Em and her friends escaped an ancient ghost ship and fled to Omeyocan. She unified her people and led a revolt against their creators.

They were made to be "overwritten," their minds wiped and replaced by the consciousnesses of the monsters who created them. "We thought this place was our destiny - not our doom." Pawns in a millennia-old struggle, the young people known only as the Birthday Children were genetically engineered to survive on the planet Omeyocan - but they were never meant to live there. In the final installment of an exhilarating sci-fi adventure trilogy in the vein of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Red Rising, Scott Sigler's unforgettable heroine, Em Savage, must come to grips once and for all with the perilous mysteries of her own existence.
