About the Saga
The most human thing we have is the stubborn refusal to look away from something terrible until we understand it.
The series
The 5th Wave meets Alien with the propulsion of Brandon Mull — a six-book YA survival-horror saga about a resistance that wins not by being stronger than the monsters, but by learning them.
Three years after a hyper-advanced alien species fell from the sky to harvest the Earth, the scattered survivors fight back from the shadows. Each book reveals and conquers a new stage of a living alien hierarchy, climbing from a lone foot-soldier to the world-ending will that grows them all. It is survival-horror for young adult and crossover readers — real terror and real loss, told clean: intense peril and dread, no graphic gore, profanity, or sexual content.

About the author
Brandon T. Mysliwiec writes dark, propulsive science fiction and fantasy for young adults and the young at heart. He is drawn to stories where ordinary people face impossible things and survive not by becoming heroes but by refusing to stop paying attention. The Veilfall Saga follows his Blood Reckoning Saga (The Sickness Below, The Crimson Descent, and Blood Cleansed). He lives in the Pacific Northwest, where the forests are deep enough to hide a resistance — or something worse — and where, on the quiet nights, it is not hard to imagine the sky coming awake.
