But when she was home, lying in bed and watching the fairy lights blink across her ceiling, she found that every time she closed her eyes, she saw the vestibule again. Doorways protruded from every angle, stretching out as far as she could see. They were above, below and all around her.
Black sparked in the air that surrounded her body, and when she opened her eyes, she found among all the mysteries they still hadn’t resolved, she knew two things with certainty:
The Ancients were coming for them.
And they would be there very soon.

The Descendants
Book 2: Second Coming
Between kisses, Aidan kept asking her questions:
Where do I come from?
Who was my father?
Who made me?
Why am I here?
The Ancients are coming for them. In fact, they’ve already landed on Earth and now they’re searching for the boy who will lead them to the Wisdom.
Some say the Wisdom is ultimate knowledge of the Creator; others say it’s just a myth. But the golden giant Quetzal knows better. The Wisdom was lost thousands of years ago, and only its recovery will stop the Ancients from dying.
Meanwhile, Aidan is desperate to discover the identity of his birth parents…and the real reason why he was led away from home in pursuit of the black pulse of his dreams. Can Itzy protect him from the truth that threatens to divide them?

PROLOGUE
The stars outside flew past them on all sides as the ship ripped its way through space, bending and indenting the black matter. The ship was so incomprehensibly vast, it was almost hyperbolic. Jupiter could have fit inside it thirty times and still had growing room. Something with that sort of mass wasn’t easy to recover from, which was why everywhere it went, it left a gravitational impression.
Its creators had also mastered the art of cloaking, such that as great as the ship was, it could not be seen - much to the puzzlement of the astrophysicists down on Earth who picked up strange mathematical anomalies in the solar system that could not be reconciled according to what they thought of as the natural rules of matter.
The ship’s name was Nibiru.
