From the author of the bestselling Horizon Alpha series, comes a new thrilling sci-fi novel!



One egg holds humanity’s last hope.



Noah was born in the Hive. Raised a willing slave to a species of giant, intelligent insects, he and the other boys never question humans’ place in society. They live to serve. Attaining the highest honor any human can aspire to, he joins the ranks of Queen’s Servants with no idea what the job entails.



When Noah learns the horrible truth about the insect Queen, his life is forfeit to the Hive. But unrest is coursing through the underground tunnels. The Hive is sick, and a new Queen is needed. And the insects aren’t the only ones who know it. Outside the walls, a pack of feral humans holds the secret to Noah’s forgotten past.



Noah is the key to the new Queen’s survival. And the new Queen is the humans of the Horizon Beta’s only hope on a distant world where insects rule.
