When a being of living light falls from the sky, thirteen-year-old Riki is the only one who sees him.
Nyxaris isn't human.
He's from Embergloom - a distant world where light is power, unity is strength, and teleportation is as natural as breathing. He was sent to Earth to observe.
He wasn't supposed to choose it.
As Nyxaris and his team study humanity, they discover something unexpected: humans are not simply innocent... or cruel. They are complicated. Capable of kindness and destruction in the same breath.
But when a powerful billionaire captures one of Nyxaris' kind and begins draining alien energy to fuel a global empire, observation becomes impossible.
Now Riki - a boy who's used to feeling invisible - must stand beside a glowing alien who refuses to abandon his friend.
Together, they'll face:
Corporate greed powered by stolen light
Armed hunters who won't stop searching
A sky that burns as an alien ship escapes Earth
And a choice that could change two worlds forever
Nyxaris was sent to judge humanity.
Instead, he finds something worth protecting.
