Leaving behind the destruction of their world the Pinnerite people find their way to Earth. Seeking refuge from an evil force, the leader of the alien race convinces Earth's major governments to allow colonization of Antarctica. The evil seems to have followed the Pinnerite people though, and now Earth is racing to prepare for a war they can not win. After years of battle, technology is all but destroyed, borders are erased and redrawn, and strange creatures roam the continents. The Pinnerite people break the seclusion of their Antarctic Colony to try and regain what has been lost. According to an ancient prophecy one of their own youth will join with six others from around the world to combat and defeat the driving force behind the evil that permeates civilization. Arra is marked from birth to be the first of the Seven. She travels to Australia to find Moose, the second in a group that will bring hope back to the people of Earth. Together they find five other young men and women that work together and risk their lives for something that was prophesied over 500 years ago. The first obstacle is finding a new place for the people of the Antarctic colony, as it is slowly losing power and life support. Australia is the obvious choice but the continent is ruled by a ruthless family of Emperors, who have magic at their disposal. The battle for Australia brings Arra's own magical abilities, which almost lead to her death. This is a fast paced novel, with plenty of excitement and drama. Characters are full of personality, and mystery. The battle for Australia is just the beginning of the adventures for the young heroes, and the war to win the world will test their resolve and friendship.
