For as long as she can remember, Lark Taylor has been looking to the stars—but she never dreamed that someday she’d find herself among them. She is Chosen to join an intergalactic academy attempting to save Earth’s toxic society from self-destruction. Lark relies on Gideon, her alluring, off-limits Guardian, to show her the ropes. During training, Lark feels something she hasn’t felt in a long time—hope. She may hold the key to saving her planet. But as her training progresses, she learns that the Academy isn’t as altruistic as she thought. And the more she and Gideon try to deny their growing feelings for each other, (turns out interplanetary relationships are forbidden), the more they gravitate together. Just when Lark thinks she has found a way to be with Gideon, she uncovers a secret that puts her, the Academy, and the people of Earth in more danger than ever before. If she doesn’t act quickly, she will lose everything—including the only boy she’s ever loved.
