Cameron is your average, run of the mill, seventeen-year-old kid. He did have some random thoughts over the years that he wasn’t quite like others, but never talked about that with anyone—he didn’t want to be labeled a “freak.” Aside from that, everything about his life is about as normal as could be. He goes to school, has friends, has fun with girls at parties, and just enjoys his altogether normal life, until the night that everything is shattered. Just before he turns eighteen, Cameron’s parents are murdered by home invaders wearing masks; and that’s when all hell breaks loose—literally. Cameron is shoved head-first into a world that he never would have believed could possibly be real. A world where monsters truly exist, and not just the human kind, but the kind you read about in books and see in films. It’s up to Cameron, and a select group of freedom fighters, not only to save the earth, but also to save the galaxy and, along with it, his true homeland—Elyria.
