Humanity’s fate rests in the hands of an alien Ellie should fear, but M0Rr1S has a potential solution-thousands of miles away.

The trouble is, he finds himself drawn to human music and in desperate need of more.

When young Ilori commander M0Rr1S finds Ellie’s library, he’s duty-bound to deliver her for execution. Music, art and books are illegal, but Ellie still keeps a secret library. With humans deemed dangerously volatile because of their initial reaction to the invasion, emotional expression can be grounds for execution. Today, seventeen-year-old Ellie Baker survives in an Ilori-controlled center in New York City. Two years ago, a misunderstanding between the leaders of Earth and the invading Ilori resulted in the deaths of one-third of the world’s population. Can a girl who risks her life for books and an alien who loves pop music work together to save humanity? A beautiful and thrilling debut novel for fans of Marie Lu and Veronica Roth.
