The Skylight Fallout - Wint, J.

. .

Résumé :
Legend speaks of a prophesied figure who will unlock something of immense power. Known only as the Skylight Fallout, this special person remains a mystery...at least until the Century Eclipse. Four long years have passed since Jet Stroud's days as a student at Skylight University. Now he finds himself in the middle of a war between two clans of an ancient race known as the Heliographi. As the newest member of the Lucem, he now has physically and mentally enhanced abilities and is sworn to defend the Skylight System against their mortal enemies, the Atrum. But Jet struggles to master his new abilities and finds it difficult to keep up with his training. His duties also include protecting his warden, Kamber Caster, as she begins her first semester at Skylight University. But secretly, Jet is keeping a watchful eye on his old friend, Cutter Jade, knowing that the Atrum will stop at nothing to gain the upper hand, including kidnapping and murder. When the Skylight System's president tasks the Lucem with investigating several stolen rare-earth shipments, Jet discovers that a bounty has been placed on his head. As assassins target him, he begins to question his abilities after several attempts on his life nearly succeed. Is he strong enough to protect his friends, or will they end up suffering because of his inability? As the Century Eclipse draws near, the Lucem suspect that the Atrum are planning something sinister. Fearing disaster, the Lucem must take up their oath and protect the citizens of Skylight. Stars collide when Jet faces off against his old classmates and he is forced to decide the fate of those dearest to him. Who is the true Skylight Fallout and what will this person reveal? Can the Lucem defend Skylight against the evil plots of the Atrum? One thing is certain. The second phase of The Prism Effect will be set into motion and neither the Atrum nor the Lucem can change their destiny...or can they?
