Nobody can ever know Aria’s secret: she has human DNA.
Raised on Planet Terros, Aria was taught to hate humans and their destructive ways. But when she is sent to release a deadly virus and end the failed human experiment, Aria realises everything she thought she knew about Earth was a lie.
The mission goes wrong. And now dark forces are out to destroy her.
