Description

This sequel to Pittacus Lore’s Generation One is the second book in an epic new series set in the world of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series.

Newcomers as well as fans of the original series will devour this fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi adventure that’s perfect for fans of Marvel’s X-Men, Alexandra Bracken’s Darkest Minds trilogy, and Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series.

The Human Garde Academy was created in the aftermath of an alien invasion of Earth. It was meant to provide a safe haven for teens across the globe who were suddenly developing incredible powers known as Legacies.

Taylor Cook was one of the newest students and had no idea if she’d ever fit in. But when she was mysteriously abducted, her friends broke every rule in the book to save her. In the process, they uncovered a secret organization that was not only behind Taylor’s kidnapping but also the disappearance of numerous teens with abilities. An organization that has dark roots in the Loric’s past, untold resources, and potentially even a mole at their own school.

Now these friends, who have become known to other students as the “Fugitive Six,” must work together to bring this mysterious group to an end before they can hurt anyone else.


But with a powerful enemy in the shadows and a traitor in their midst, can six teens really stop a secret war before it begins?


  • Teens with Superpowers: At the Human Garde Academy, developing incredible alien Legacies is the new normal. But for Taylor Cook and her friends, their powers have made them targets.
  • A Shadow Organization: After Taylor is kidnapped, her friends uncover an enemy with deep ties to the Loric past—one that is abducting superpowered teens for their own dark purposes.
  • Mole in the Academy: The enemy has untold resources and a spy inside the Academy itself. With no one left to trust, the Fugitive Six are on their own.
  • Action-Packed Sci-Fi: Fans of the I Am Number Four series will love this high-stakes sequel, packed with breathtaking fights, shocking betrayals, and a team of heroes you’ll root for.
