Amara is never alone. Not when she's protecting the cursed princess she unwillingly serves. Not when they're fleeing across dunes and islands and seas to stay alive. Not when she's punished, ordered around, or neglected. She can't be alone, because a boy from another world experiences all that alongside her, looking through her eyes. Nolan longs for a life uninterrupted. Every time he blinks, he's yanked from his Arizona town into Amara's mind, a world away, which makes even simple things like hobbies and homework impossible. He's spent years as a powerless observer of Amara's life. Amara has no idea . . . until he learns to control her, and they communicate for the first time. Amara is terrified. Then, she's furious. All Amara and Nolan want is to be free of each other. But Nolan's breakthrough has dangerous consequences. Now, they'll have to work together to survive--and discover the truth about their connection

У Стражей Галактики новый повод для беспокойства: они обнаруживают двойника Грута! Вскоре члены отряда понимают, что кто-то клонировал их древовидного друга и вовсю продавал двойников, а оригинальный Страж в это время постоянно слабел. В поисках правды команда навещает Коллекционера, и тот предлагает кажущуюся выгодной сделку: своего Грута-клона в обмен на помощницу, сбежавшую от него с какими-то ценностями. Теперь Стражам предстоит отправиться на поиски в самое сердце воинственной Империи Кри, собрать многочисленных двойников Грута и спасти своего друга. И так непростая задачка усложняется до крайности, когда отряд находит таинственную воровку – юную зеленокожую девушку по имени Кия, чья тайна может навсегда изменить жизнь Гаморы. Удастся ли Стражам Галактики распутать клубок из заговоров, предательства, жестокости и генетических исследований?
