Synopsis

Teenager Zoe Perry retells the events of The Last Colony from her own perspective, as her adopted parents lead a group of colonists to a new planet — one that becomes a pawn in a galactic political crisis. Caught between alien species who revere her and a colonial government that needs her, Zoe must find her own voice.
