Generation One

A year after Earth's Garde drove off an alien invasion, the energy released in the fight is changing human teenagers across the world. They are developing extraordinary abilities known as Legacies. Taylor Cook, who lives in a small town and had always thought of the invasion as a distant nightmare, finds she has powers of her own.

She gets a place at the Human Garde Academy, a school only just founded, where teenagers practise controlling their abilities. The book follows her and her fellow students as they train in a place built for a generation that did not exist a year earlier.

Outside the Academy, the welcome is far from warm. The Harvesters, a fringe group, regard Legacy-bearers as abominations. The Foundation captures people with healing abilities for its own purposes. The recruits are unprepared for either threat.

As pressure builds beyond the Academy walls, Taylor and the other students have to use their powers before they feel ready. This is science fiction for a young adult audience, with a new cast of characters. It is the first book in the Lorien Legacies Reborn series and is set after the original Lorien Legacies novels.
