The Stranded #1

In the quiet town of Calvert Hills, tensions rise as Janus and Dzin hunt a mysterious sleeper—only to find their target isn't who they thought. When Janus kills Gieren, Tamree realizes this is the seventh such death in three days, and the pattern points to Drum as the next victim. Just as Drum prepares to marry Brooke, danger arrives, and Tamree must act—using her telepathy to unlock Drum’s suppressed powers before it’s too late.

In a quiet moment of shared danger, Tamree races to protect Cullen from Janus’ relentless pursuit, only to face a shocking mirror in Dzin—someone who looks exactly like her. As Drum struggles to reconcile his stolen past with the truth of his alien origins, the fragile bonds between survivors begin to strain under the weight of memory, betrayal, and a war that never truly ended.

In "Wow. This one really says something to me," Tamree faces a brutal mind duel with Dzin, who reveals a shocking truth: both were forged from the same genetic source, the Anchors created by Zante. As Dzin's resentment over her flawed origin fuels her attack, Drum defies orders to intervene, and the unexpected surge of Cullen’s hidden abilities becomes the key to Tamree’s escape.

In the isolated confines of a forgotten station, Sisera grapples with the terrifying gift of a chaos wave—her power, the last of her kind, could unravel everything. With Tamree’s mind a fragile map of secrets and Dzin plotting to weaponize her, the fragile balance between control and catastrophe teeters as Janus and Cullen watch from the shadows, unsure if they can protect her—or stop her.

In the aftermath of Endo’s death, Sisera’s uncontrolled powers spiral out of reach, threatening Earth. As Tamree and the awakened sleepers fight desperately toward her, Janus begins to question everything—until Tamree reveals the truth that shatters his identity. Meanwhile, Drum works to steady Sisera, while Tamree, now mysteriously home, discovers Professor Zante’s plan to use the sleepers to invade Earth.
