The phone rang, and Yasmine answered it, sending her into the ruins of the city to find a young man and rescue him from the Monoliths, a ruthless gang that had taken him prisoner.

But it wasn't quite what she expected. The Monoliths weren't ruthless, they were good people, led by an uncle she never knew she had, and Trey, the young man who reached out to her on her mother's phone, wasn't even a man at all.

He was an alien, and worse yet, one of the crabs that took all the water, and destroyed Earth.

But alliances were made, friendships forged, and now, in the wake of their victory against the crabs in Shantytown, Yasmine and her uncle The Baron are going on a journey no human has ever undertaken.

They are heading to The Nexus, the center of all galactic civilization, and the one place they can find help to take Earth's water back.
