The first in a stunning new science fiction trilogy,
Conquest
introduces a world where humanity has been conquered by a powerful
alien rulership—unless a group of young rebels can unlock their powers
and help rescue humankind from its terrible fate.
Earth has been invaded by the Illyri—a beautiful, civilized, yet
ruthless alien race. The Resistance grows stronger against the invaders,
for it is up to the young people of the Earth to lead the battle and
save humanity.
Syl Hellais, conceived among the
stars, is the oldest alien child on Earth. The daughter of one of the
planet’s rulers, she has hidden gifts and powers that she does yet fully
understand.
But all is not as it seems.
Secret experiments are being conducted on humans, the Illyri are at war
among themselves, and the sinister Nairene Sisterhood has arrived on
Earth, hungry for new blood. When Syl helps a pair of young fighters
escape execution, she finds herself sentenced to death and pursued by
her own kind. Soon, she even risks breaking the greatest taboo of her
race by falling in love with a human.
Now the hunter has become the
hunted, and the predators have become prey. And as Syl is about to
learn, the real invasion is yet to begin…
