The epic closing chapter in Sylvain Neuvel's acclaimed Take Them to the Stars trilogy.

When you don't know The Rules, it's hard to stay safe. After a traumatic incident, Aster finds that her blood work comes back with some unusual readings. Unsurprising, as she's the last of an alien race called the Kibsu. But Aster doesn't know this.

Immediately, Aster finds herself the focus of a hunt, with her mortal enemies, the Trackers, on one side, and the American government on the other. There seems to be nowhere she can run. But help often comes from the most unexpected quarter...

One thing is certain: whoever finds Aster first will hold the fate of the Kibsuβ€”and our worldβ€”in their hands.
