Twins Teri and Miwa Miranda are happy and popular high school students on the independent world of Terego. Their family is beloved by the community: their sweet half-brother Jakobo, caring stepmother Rhea, and doting father Nando, a model citizen in all aspects of his life. But every bit of that life is a lie. In reality, Nando Miranda is Brando D'Angelo, a wanted fugitive, raising the clones of his murdered wife and daughter, hoping he won’t be discovered. Now the armed forces of the Consortium have finally tracked him down. In an instant his carefully constructed identity is exploded, and the true nature of his daughters is revealed. The devastated teens have little time to assimilate the news. Retreating from their community in shock, they find themselves abducted, drawn into a cataclysmic crisis that will shake the foundations of human society. For humans are not the only species on Terego. In the deep green shadows of its impenetrable forests, fierce creatures are rallying for war. And an ancient intelligence is awakening from its slumber.
