Lorien Legacies Reborn

Fugitive Six

After I Am Number Four came Generation One . . . 
 
It's a year since John Smith and the Lorien Garde helped defeat the Mogadorian invasion of Earth. 
 
Now all over the planet teenagers are developing new powers - new Legacies. 
 
But this terrifies everyone else. Those with Legacies are forced to register themselves. They are cast out of families. Hunted down. Murdered. 
 
So the Garde create an Academy. A place where the gifted may come and learn in safety. They will be trained to use their powers to help protect humankind. 
 
But some of them believe there's a better use of their talents. They have other plans. And they don't care who dies in order to bring them about . . .

THE GARDE ACADEMY NURTURES. 
THE FOUNDATION DESTROYS. 
WHO WILL WIN? 
________________ 
 
Taylor Cook and the 'Fugitive Six' guard their Legacies against the murderous Foundation. They know trouble is coming. 
 
A mole inside the Academy is stealing secrets. 
 
They must be found and stopped. 
 
Because gifted teens are still disappearing. 
 
Between the trials of training and the tensions among Earth's defenders, Taylor and friends know they must work together to bring about the Foundation's fall. 
 
But the Foundation has its own plans. And the Fugitive Six are in their sights . . . 
 
This is the thrilling second instalment in the Lorien Legacies Reborn series from the bestselling author of I Am Number Four - fans of Ready Player One, The Hunger Games, and the Throne of Glass series will love this.

The Loric didn't make us monsters and they didn't make us heroes. We choose what happens next. 
 
Taylor Cook thought of the invasion as just a bad dream. It had ended over a year ago, and none of the fighting happened anywhere near her small town. She'd heard about teens who were suddenly developing incredible abilities, but she had never really believed it. Not until the day she discovered she was one of them - a human with Legacies. 
 
Now Taylor is being sent off to the Human Garde Academy. A place where teens from across the globe can learn to control their new powers and discover what they are truly capable of. There they will be trained by the Loric - the very same people who helped win the war and who are also responsible for unleashing the Legacies on the planet. 
 
As part of this new generation of Garde, Taylor and the others will one day be able to use their gifts to protect mankind. But not everyone thinks that's the best use for their talents. There are people who have different plans for the students and who will stop at nothing to get what they want. 
 
Generation One is the first book in a thrilling new series set in the world of the bestselling I Am Number Four series.
