way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City, they encounter young freedom fighters,
mutants, otherworldly artifacts, pirates, feuding alien armies, and the amazing powers that
Zoey is beginning to exhibit. Powers that suggest she, as impossible as it seems, may just be
the key to stopping the Assembly once and for all.
