About this book
Fourteen-year-old Jason faces an identity crisis after discovering that he is the son of aliens who stayed on earth following a botched invasion mission.
Who this is for
AI · Sample
A patient, character-first epic that asks you to sit with worldbuilding before any payoff arrives. Readers who love long arcs and slow-burn relationships tend to finish it twice; readers chasing momentum often DNF in the first hundred pages. Plan for unhurried evenings.
