Ro murmurs into my ear. Dont be afraid, Dol. Theyre not coming for us. Still, he slips his arm around me and we wait until the sky is clear. Because he doesnt know. Not really.Everything changed on The Day. The day the Icon appeared in Los Angeles. The day the power stopped. The day Dols family dropped dead. The day Earth lost a war it didnt know it was fighting. Since then, Dol has lived a simple life in the countryside with fellow survivor Ro-safe from the shadow of the Icon and its terrifying power. Hiding from the one truth she cant avoid.Theyre different. They survived. Why?When the government discovers their secret, they are forced to join faint-hearted Tima and charismatic Lucas in captivity. Called the Icon Children, the four are the only humans on Earth immune to the power of the Icons.
