- Synopsis
- One of the most compelling writers of our time, Stephenie Meyer (THE TWILIGHT SAGA), brings us a riveting and unforgettable story about the persistence of love and the very essence of what it means to be human. In the near future, our planet has never been more perfect. Greed and violence have been eliminated, and peace and kindness are practiced by all. But perfection comes at price, as an alien race of pure “souls” has invaded earth, using humans as their hosts. Melanie Stryder is one human who retains her identity, thanks to a strong will and the empathy of invading soul Wanderer, who is deeply moved by the power and vividness of human emotions. The two become reluctant allies, as they evade Seekers bent on eradicating any human survivors. Two entities in one body, they set out in search of Melanie’s loved ones. They travel to a remote desert cave system, where Melanie’s boyfriend Jared and brother Jamie have sought refuge with a group of rebels. Once there, Wanderer falls in love with a survivor named Ian, but is conflicted, knowing how this would affect Melanie’s love for Jared. As the Seekers close in on the survivors, Wanderer is faced with the most difficult choice of all—act on her love for Ian, or sacrifice everything so Melanie can love again.
