On "The Day," aliens killed a billion people with massive, energy-producing "Icons." Mysteriously, Dol lived; seventeen years later, she and her best friend Ro meet two more so-called "Icon Children" who can also resist the Icons' power. Who these teens are, where they come from, and what they are capable of form the core of this tense and ominous novel.
