Adam has no idea who he truly is. On the verge of turning eighteen, strange abilities begin to surge through him-wild, electric, and impossible to control. They're the first signs of a power that will fully awaken the moment he becomes an adult... and the moment his enemies have been waiting for. Unknown to Adam his grandfather is preparing to kill him. King Blake of Torin-ruthless, exiled, and obsessed with purity-once fled a devastating war. Now he wants to reclaim his throne from the Casothan king who rules their home world. But Blake believes victory requires a "cleansing" of the bloodline. No half-breeds. No Earthlings. No weakness. And that includes Adam. To Blake, his grandson is a stain on the royal line, a threat that must be erased before the war begins anew. As the king rallies his loyalists and prepares to purge every mixed child and their Earth-born parents, Adam is forced into hiding, hunted by his grandfather a man meant to love and protect him. To survive, Adam must master his emerging powers, uncover the truth of his heritage, and fight against the cleansing that was designed to destroy him.
