Summer hears voices. Even for someone with the gift of mind-speech this isn’t normal. But that’s only the beginning of her troubles. Her best friend Angela, the sweetest, kindest, person she knows, has bonded with the mad man who tried to kill Summer and Bentri months before. And, when Angela’s bullying ex-boyfriend pokes around “Jake’s Hell” he sees things he shouldn’t. Angela’s blabbermouth mother also suspects something. The Ahtomalians have to figure out how to keep the city of Daneye safe. . . and a secret.
The voices claim to be gifted persons who were left behind on the Ahtomalian’s old planet. Summer and Bentri want to help these poor souls. But the only person old enough to remember how the city transported to Earth has forgotten the truth. Somehow, they have to break the cycle of lies. . .

The locals call the place Jake’s Hell after Summer McCalister’s crazy uncle Jake who claims to have seen impossible things there. It’s a badlands of rugged rock cliffs and sharp pinnacles that no sane person would attempt to enter.
The Atomalians call it Daneye, a secret alien city of
unequaled beauty, masked behind illusion. Atomalians believe that natives of
Earth must never know about them and their powers of the mind or it will
destroy the Atomalians’ peaceful lives.
When Summer is drawn out of bed and pulled to Jake’s
Hell by an urge she can’t control, she fears she’s crazier than her uncle. But
when the young Ahtomalian, Bentri, steps out of thin air, she knows she’s either crazy—or dead. Taking
her to his unbelievably beautiful city doesn’t erase the fact that he’s keeping
her hostage in a room with no door and no way out.
Bentri’s world is suddenly and completely devastated
by the appearance of the native Earth girl. If she’s discovered within the
city, law decrees she be destroyed. As Bentri is bonded with her, that means he
would also die. Their only chance might be to escape—but can Bentri survive in
her world?
