The first book in a Young Adult science-fiction adventure series begins with Donovan Park, a troubled fifteen-year-old foster kid who discovers that he was sent to Earth as a baby to escape the tyrannical rule of a powerful crime syndicate that operates under the guise of a church called Regenesis. Years before, Donovan and five other babies were launched from their home planet of Tyria carrying vital information that could one day be used to bring down the ruthless "church". Donovan must grapple with the surprising truth about his history, the stunning revelation that life exists on multiple worlds, and the fact that he is the best hope for the Tyrians to end the reign of Regenesis that has reduced Tyria to a dystopian nightmare.
Donovan has faced adversity his entire life. Without the love and support of a family, he learned to fend for himself. Now, on the verge of becoming an adult, he must deal with the fact that for the first time in his life, he is needed. But will he care enough to get past his anger over having been abandoned in order to fulfill his destiny and help the Tyrians?
Donovan becomes a reluctant ally to a rebel group known as The Tyrian League. They need him to bring down Regenesis, and he may need them to make sense of his chaotic life. It's an overwhelming challenge, made more so with the revelation that Regenesis isn't only on the planet Tyria. Their criminal cult has spread to multiple other worlds, and has set its sights on Earth. The best hope for The Tyrian League to succeed will depend on finding the other five babies, now all Donovan's age, who are scattered across the universe.
