Description
Lyric Walker's life was forever changed when she witnessed the arrival of 30,000 Alpha, a five-nation race of ocean-dwelling warriors, on her beach in Coney Island. Initially met with wonder and awe, the Alpha soon sparked fear, paranoia, and violence, transforming Lyric's small town into a military zone. As tensions escalate, Lyric is recruited to help Prince Fathom assimilate, and she begins to fall for him. However, their love is threatened by forces on both sides working to keep them apart. But what if the Alpha are not actually the enemy? What if they are humanity's best chance for survival? A cinematic saga of action, suspense, and romance unfolds as Lyric navigates this treacherous world. With the real enemy looming, she must confront her own doubts and fears to uncover the truth about the Alpha and their place in a world on the brink of disaster.
