The Fall Of Five
By Pittacus Lore
Plot
There were 10 beings known as the Garde fleeing from their conquered homeworld of Lorien and the rest of their kind was wiped out by the Mogadorians, a war-like people that invaded Lorien and drained it for it's resources, leaving it a desolate wasteland. The children have a charm placed on them that as long as they remain apart, they can only be killed in order 1 to 9. The Mogadorians found 3, but the remaining 7 are learning to control their powers, known as Legacies, to combat the Mogadorians and revive their fallen homeworld.
