Synopsis

#1 New York Times bestselling author Aprilynne Pike has created a heart-stopping romance built on a love triangle like you’ve never seen before and filled with epic stakes and a centuries-long conspiracy. Give it to fans of Beautiful Creatures and Nightshade.

Tavia Michaels is the sole survivor of the plane crash that killed her parents. When she starts to see strange visions of a boy she’s never spoken with in real life, she begins to suspect that there’s much about her past that she isn’t being told. 

Tavia immediately searches for answers, desperate to determine why she feels so drawn to a boy she hardly knows. But when Tavia discovers that the aunt and uncle who took her in after her parents' death may have actually been responsible for the plane crash that killed them—and that she may have been the true intended victim—she flees for the safety of Camden, Maine, where the boy she sees in her visions instructs her to go.

Now, Tavia is on the run with no one to trust. No one, that is, except for her best friend and longtime crush, Benson.

Tavia feels torn between the boy who mysteriously comes to her at night and the boy who has been by her side every step of the way. But what Tavia doesn't know is that the world is literally falling apart and that to save it she will have to unite with the boy in her visions. Only problem? To do so would mean rejecting Benson's love. And that's the one thing Tavia Michaels swore she'd never do.

James Dashner: So, you have a brand new book out in July; beginning of a new series.

Aprilynne Pike: Well, hello James. Nice to see you too. Why yes, I am looking lovely today.

JD: Oh, are we supposed to do hellos and stuff in this?
AP: Yes.
JD: Hello then.
AP: Weren’t we talking about my new book?
JD: You’re impossible.
AP: I know.
JD: Okay, so, Earthbound. What’s it about?
AP: It’s about Tavia, the sole survivor of a plane crash who can make stuff.
JD: Like . . . crafts? I love crafts! Does she make those cool glass bead necklaces? I have this one I wear one to bed that—
AP: No, James. Not like crafts. Like matter out of thin air. She’s a goddess. But cursed.
JD: Oh. Yeah. Well I hate crafts.
AP: ...
JD: Don’t look at me like that. You put two guys on there, didn’t you?
AP: It was an accident! Seriously!
JD: Sure it was. But the important question is, are there any Grievers?
AP: No, that’s your book.
JD: How about mazes?
AP: Your book again.
JD: How about a movie coming out on Valentine’s Day next year?
AP: Still your book.
JD: Oh, yeah . . . How about guns?
AP: Some of those.
JD: Explosions?
AP: Those too.
JD: Dead people?
AP: I’m afraid so.
JD: Sounds like my kind of book!
AP: No.
JD: No?
AP: No. Too much kissing.
JD: Gross.
AP: How many kids do you have?
JD: Don’t change the subject.
