In 2223 A.D. humanity realized they were not alone. An alien
group from the planet Gliese 581-d came to Earth to escape the destruction of
their home planet. Earth's leaders allowed it because the aliens were peaceful,
they were beautiful, and something about them was utterly irresistible.
400 years later humanity has all but been eradicated. Most
humans have been absorbed into the alien population. Maya Richardson is one of
the few thousand remaining humans. She lives in a fledgling where she had lived
with both of her parents, until they each disappeared, abandoning her to for
the glittering allure of the Gliesian society.
Unfortunately, she is branded a traitor when her best friend
vanishes with the commune’s money. Maya has to prove her innocence to take her
rightful place in the commune hierarchy.
But Maya has a secret. Actually, she has two secrets: one
that can save the commune and the other that can save humanity. Unfortunately,
exposing one of her secrets will get her kicked out of the commune. If she
exposes the other, she'll find out that the aliens aren’t so peaceful after
all.
