Four humans vanish. They find themselves on an alien planet called Eculsive. This planet is inhabited by green humanoid creatures called Shruikranes. It is the savior of these Shruikranes that gives the humans a perilous task. Hawk, Addi, Kyla and Jace find they are on a planet in the middle of a galaxy in fatal turmoil. A Shruikrane named Bludvelk is planning to destroy the sun so that the galaxy morphs into an inky ice age. All creatures will turn to him to survive. The four humans, who have come to be known as the Vanished, must stop Bludvelk and save the galaxy from dying. Eculsive is a dangerous planet. The Vanished must journey across the alien landscape, encountering avalanches of coffins, a mystical underworld, a town frozen in time and a menagerie of blood-hungry monsters. They are all alone. There is no telling who they can trust... who is on their side. Their first task is to find the Shruikrane Queen. She is the only one who knows how to save the galaxy. From there, the journey is only more dangerous. If the Vanished don't hurry, the sun will die, and so will they.
