IN A TECH-DRIVEN FUTURE, ALL SECRETS WILL BE REVEALED. Powerful families have powerful secrets. No surprises there. But when secrets end up creating vulnerabilities-especially when they are revealed just before a possible invasion of the Solar System...then secrets aren't just inconvenient, they become a big problem. The revelation of Sarah Stephens's deepest, darkest secret kicks off a traumatic reaction in her daughter Diana-that may be tied to the potential invasion. Sarah isn't the only person in the Stephens-Landreth-Fielding family with problematic secrets, however. Secrets pile upon secrets as the invaders approach Earth. It's up to Sarah and Diana's descendant Bess, her beloved Alex Jeffreys, and Bess's mother Melanie to figure out how to overcome the burden of secrets and defend Earth. Will they be able to succeed-and what will it cost them?
