They were meant to bring Askala to the world. Now the war is coming to Askala. Sam, Hawk, Luca, and Mercy must return home to protect the society they were bred to champion. But how do they defend peace loving Askala from the greatest threat yet? As secrets are revealed and loyalties are tested, everyone will be forced to question who is friend and who is foe. The Commander is far more dangerous than anyone realized. The Outlanders are divided about whose side they’re really on. And Askala is unprepared for an attack.

Only the chosen shall seek. Sam, Hawk, Luca, and Mercy. Four teens no longer sure what they’re seeking. Four teens no longer sure whether it can be found. They were supposed to be building a new world. One where the Earth is respected as much as the people who depend on it for survival. One where the benefits of Askala could be shared by all. Except instead of bringing people together, Sam, Hawk, Luca, and Mercy are more divided than ever. In the struggle to repair the world from the ravages of global warming, the fight to reunite is going to be their greatest battle yet.

Four young lives now have to choose where they belong. To choose what and who they will fight for. Because no matter where they turn, the legacy of the past is inescapable. The Newlands already has settlers. The Outlands has a new leader. And danger has arrived in Askala. Hawk, Sam, Mercy, and Luca must work together or be swept away by a world even more divided than themselves. As the fight for survival becomes a fight for the future, as hearts yearn and secrets are protected, loyalties will be tested.

Sea levels have receded, exposing fertile, untouched land. Virgin soil that everyone in a ravaged world is willing to fight for. Askala knows it needs to stake a claim if they’re going to continue healing the Earth. To do that, a team of Seekers will be sent to colonize it...and assimilate those who don’t understand. This year, the testing won’t end at the Proving. Passing is no longer just about having a kind heart and a sharp mind.

Askala has been seized by a new order. A cruel army that rules with greed and fear. An army that seems impossible to defeat. Forced into the forest, the people struggle to survive using all they’ve learned from the harshness of the Outlands. Bound, Unbound and Remnant alike are going to have to create unity in a world founded on division if they are to win.

Four teens must face the fallout of the Proving. Three have made it through. One has not. Nova. Kian. Dex. Wren. Four lives defined by the outcome. Four lives who thought the Proving was the most difficult test they would ever have to face. They all assumed Askala was safe, but a link to the Outlands has been established and a Remnant invasion is now a threat. In a starving, damaged world, Askala has what others want.
