⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐AMAZON #1 BESTSELLING SERIES⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The SCION SAGA SERIES resumes with Adam struggling to pick up the pieces of his youth after having lost both his biological and adoptive fathers to the Iksha. Discovering that someone he'd once despised may now be the only living link to his biological mother, encourages him to fight aggressively through psychological counseling while Carly's robbed of her human right to grieve her parents due to her leadership role among the Descendants, though her budding relationship with Jo provides much needed solace.

With the Iksha momentarily neutralized, the Descendants have bravely decided to join life on the surface by moving from their underground safe house in International Falls to Piure. The biokenretic Hexacuh casted around the City, meant to protect them, proves to be a double-edged sword when a lurking evil is discovered trapped within the City limits.

As graduation approaches, many teen woes weigh heavily on Adam's mind, seemingly causing it to fracture into dual personalities. After his symptoms grow beyond his control, Carly leaves in search of answers but returns with a cure that's beyond what anyone could've expected, forcing Adam to face a part of himself that he never thought he'd live to see.

Editorial Reviews

2019-12-05
Teenagers with supernatural abilities band together in the face of threats in this second installment of a series.

Sixteen-year-old Adam Rozovsky is one of the Descendants, who boast paranormal abilities. Adam can control wind while his girlfriend, Carly Wit, manipulates fire. Unfortunately, the Iksha, a group of scientists seemingly intent on "harnessing" the Descendants' traits, have been experimenting on and sometimes killing them. Adam, Carly, and other Descendants are currently hiding in the city of Piure. Sorceress Ksenyia Levkin tries to protect everyone by hexing the entire city to prevent enemies from entering. In some ways, the Descendants are quintessential teens, attending high school and eagerly anticipating the prom. But they must remain on guard, particularly after it's apparent that a traitor among them is feeding information to the Iksha and, later, that a spy has somehow made it inside Piure. But perhaps most unnerving are the changes Carly notices in Adam. He exhibits unusual behavior that he subsequently forgets, leading Carly to speculate that his personality has split. Looking for a solution to her boyfriend's condition, Carly stumbles on a shocking discovery that may mean the Descendants' shielded city is not the safe haven they believe it to be. This SF sequel picks up right after the series opener, with a thoroughly established plot and myriad characters. Readers unfamiliar with the first volume may initially be confused, but Leigh-Reign's (Opaque, 2016) crisp dialogue is simultaneously entertaining and brimming with details. Despite the Descendants' powers and a blatant comparison to Marvel's X-Men, the story offers minimal action, as the teens' abilities are primarily on display during a tournament. Nevertheless, characters' many interactions spark searing melodrama as well as suspense. There's a lingering distrust, for example, with the presence of a potential mole while an eventual betrayal threatens more than one relationship. Moreover, the author adds a twist before the halfway point and another during the final act, which unquestionably sets up Book 3.

An engrossing SF tale that aptly solidifies a dense saga.
