When twelve-year-old Alex McCray pulls a strange stone from the river near his small California hometown, it glows, it hums, and it feels alive in his hands. His father, Ted, recognizes the danger immediately and hides the stone away, convinced that neither Alex nor the world is ready for the power it contains. As the years pass, Alex joins the military, surviving a catastrophic mission that leaves the world believing he is dead. When he finally returns to Onyx at 32, he is damaged, directionless, and desperate for a final moment of peace with his father. Ted suggests a quiet camping trip in Joshua Tree. Under the desert stars, he returns the stone back to Alex, revealing he has kept it hidden all these years. But before Alex can learn why the stone has resurfaced now, their campsite is attacked. Ted is killed, and Alex escapes with the stone but without any answers. Once the stone is in Alex’s hands, it refuses to leave. It heals. It transforms. It whispers. And Alex soon realizes it is only one of twelve that are currently awakening across the world. Some stones bring miracles. Others bring devastation. And someone out there is hunting for all of them. Unsure where to turn, Alex seeks out the people he once trusted most: • Emily, the woman he once asked to marry him, and still the first person he reaches for when his world unravels. • Scott, his lifelong friend, pulled into the danger simply because he refuses to abandon Alex. • Christina, Emily’s closest friend and a radio astronomy data scientist, whose becomes caught up in the chaos rising across the globe. Together, they are drawn into a mystery involving ancient crystal chambers, global unrest, and a threat moving toward Earth from deep space. As more stones awaken, Alex begins to understand the truth: The stones didn’t return to him by chance. They have been waiting for him. Perfect for fans of The 5th Wave, Percy Jackson, and The Umbrella Academy. Begin the five-book sci-fi adventure filled with superpowers, secrets, and world-shaking stakes.
