Six years after the Cathardi invaded Earth, claiming to be friends, Josh fulfilled his childhood dream of going into space. While he and his classmates from the academy are returning to Earth after a diplomatic mission, unknown alien ships attack their shuttles. Now his friends are dead, and the Urlak have invaded Earth.
Their supposed allies, Cathardi refuse to help Earth. He can’t trust them. They betrayed his people, treating them like an early warning system against a they knew existed. Now he and fellow survivor, Kim, have fled from the Cathardi to the frontier to start a new life.
Liria, the Cathadi prophetess believes the Creator led her to the out-of-the-way planet, Earth, where she would find the one prophesied to save Cathardi. Liria had been so certain the Earth pilot Josh would fulfill the ancient prophecy. Now he blamed her and her people for the Urlak attack on his world. Did the Creator speak to her? Was she really a prophet, or did her physical and emotional attraction to him cloud her judgement? Now her dreams warn of doom for her world. Would it survive if the Urlak discovered its location? Would the true chosen one come? She has no choice but to heed the warnings.
Directed by a dream Liria goes to the frontier to find the one that can reveal the location of the Cathardi home world to the Urlak. She convinces Josh to help her locate the person she seeks. But when the Urlak capture him before Liria, her only hope is to warn the Cathardi about the immanent attack. Will Josh help her find a way off the frontier planet? Can she alert her people in time? Is Josh the chosen one? Is there any hope for either world?
