Louie’s just discovered he’s part alien—and that’s not even his biggest problem.
Louie has spent sixteen years feeling like he doesn’t belong.
Then he discovers the truth.
He isn’t fully human.
Kidnapped and taken to a secret society, Louie learns he’s a Centall—a human with alien DNA. His mother was once one of their most legendary Crystal Hunters… until the day she betrayed them all and disappeared with the Dytonie Crystal, a powerful artefact capable of destroying humanity.
Now a dangerous cult known as the DARC Order is hunting the crystal—and Louie might be the key to finding it.
With the help of a conspiracy-obsessed friend and a fiery young activist, Louie follows the clues his mother left behind across the English countryside. But beneath sleepy villages and polite smiles lie secrets far darker than alien DNA.
And the truth about his mother may change everything.
Because sometimes finding your place in the world means discovering you were never meant to be human.
