Earth has been conquered by an alien race known as the Assembly. The human

adult population is gone, having succumbed to the Tone-a powerful, telepathic

super-signal broadcast across the planet that reduces them to a state of

complete subservience. But the Tone has one critical flaw. It only affects the

target is Mira Toombs, an infamous treasure seeker with a price on her head. It's not long

before Holt bags his prey, but their instant connection isn't something he bargained for.

Neither is the Assembly ship that crash-lands near them shortly after. Venturing inside, Holt

finds a young girl who remembers nothing except her name: Zoey. As the three make their

way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City, they encounter young freedom fighters,

mutants, otherworldly artifacts, pirates, feuding alien armies, and the amazing powers that

Zoey is beginning to exhibit. Powers that suggest she, as impossible as it seems, may just be

the key to stopping the Assembly once and for all.
