description: Earth has been conquered by an alien race known as the Assembly. The human adult population is gone having succumbed to the Tone---a powerful telepathic super-signal broadcast across the planet that reduces them to a state of complete subservience. But the Tone has one critical flaw. It only affects the population once they reach their early twenties which means that there is one group left to resist: Children.Holt Hawkins is a bounty hunter and his current target is Mira Toombs an infamous treasure seeker with a price on her head. Its not long before Holt bags his prey but their instant connection isnt something he bargained for. Neither is the Assembly ship that crash-lands near them shortly after. Venturing inside Holt finds a young girl who remembers nothing except her name: Zoey.As the three make their way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City they encounter young freedom fighters mutants otherworldly artifacts pirates feuding alien armies and the amazing powers that Zoey is beginning to exhibit. Powers that suggest she as impossible as it seems may just be the key to stopping the Assembly once and for all.
