The first installment of a beautifully designed sci-fi trilogy, our story begins with an aging, planet-less race desperately determined to reach a new home. They are en route to a planet they call the Blue, named for how it appears on their faraway scans, and it just happens to be our home sweet home: Earth. Before arriving there is much to prepare, for this ship contains the last survivors of their civilization, including Kaliki and Leno, the only siblings in their entire race. When their graduating class of five has been chosen for a special mission to the Blue before the rest of their race arrives, even their leader and Eldest, Kenthor, is involved in teaching sessions, elevating the importance of their task, for Earth is the home of the race that destroyed their planet so long ago. They must hone their skills natural to their race: telepathy, transfiguration, and intuition, and even learn they have a special power within themselves. Do the humans live, or do they die? And can these adolescents decide this for their entire race when they experience love, heartbreak, and desire for redemption on their way? The answers will come, out of the blue.
