When everyone vanishes, there's no one to hide behind. With the world gone silent, Thalia is lost. People have disappeared and there are no crowds she can hide behind. She is exposed, she is vulnerable. Unsure of where to turn, she hides. But she cannot go unseen. Not when she is sought after. The silent world exposes her and she can no longer remain hidden in the shadows. Not when she is destined to be guarded by one of the elite. Destiny takes Thalia far beyond what she knows as home. The quiet girl has to learn to adapt as she is taken on a journey too great to be called an adventure. For the first time, Thalia is not alone. Four classmates are taking on the journey of new discoveries alongside her. And not leaving her side is Ryan, charged and entrusted with guarding Thalia.
