Not everything is as it seems... New dangers, old enemies, and more follow Dust as a new world order is established, one that will pit one species against another. Life is about to become very hazardous―for anyone who gets in his way. Dust's increasing uncertainty of the changes inside him, the treacherous journey to Portland, Oregon in search of his aunt and uncle, and his growing feelings for Sammy have him on edge. He is reluctant to tell his adopted family that the power inside him is growing again and that he isn't sure when―or if―it will ever end. When they reach Portland, Dust discovers a line has been drawn between those that have been changed and those that want to control them. Can Dust protect his new family from being used or will the power growing inside him become a force that will not only destroy his enemies, but the ones he loves?
