Jack Tengu only wants freedom—the kind he finds at full throttle on his dirtbike, far from the weight of home. Gemma is his anchor, fierce and steady, while Chris can’t stop staring at the sky, convinced the answers to everything lie beyond it. When the ordinary cracks open and something vast begins to bleed through, the three friends are thrust into a struggle far bigger than themselves. A hidden war rages between shadowed powers, stretching from backroads and high school halls to shattered alien landscapes and battlefields that defy imagination. All they have is each other, and the strength to keep fighting when the world tries to break them apart. Blending the pulse of science fiction with the wonder of myth, this is a story of loyalty under fire, of friendship that refuses to die, and of light forged in the darkest places. For every question answered, more emerge—but one truth remains: the greatest power lies not in weapons or armies, but in the bonds we refuse to let go.
