The Wildlings-hated and feared by all of Chorillan-flee into the wilderness, pursued by hunters. Their only hope is the one they call "The Legend." The Present Era, Commonwealth Universe: Lucas Aidan has always dreamed of becoming a Scout and serving with his hero, Captain Ian Fieran, whose daughter, Kay'li, has been his best friend since childhood. Then the dreaded Phase hits and his dreams shatter. He becomes one of the hated, hunted Wildlings. His parents' desperate plan to ease him through Phase and hide the truth is destroyed with his home. Now Lucas has survived two winters in the harsh wilderness, guarded and guided by the Azuli. When he's captured and brought back to civilization, Chorillan authorities fear "The Legend," who has taught so many Wildling children to survive. What Lucas chooses to do with that fear will have everything to do with his secret mission-one given to him by the free Wildlings, the Azuli, and Fi'in. Deadly secrets. A Scout Corps' mission. Passion and justice. Book 3, The Chorillan Cycle. Don't miss Book 1, Azuli Eyes, and Book 2, Scouts' Pride. By masterful sci-fi writer Michelle L. Levigne.
