The Dark Planet (Modern Myth Trilogy) (Volume 2)

The dark planet Persephone approaches and brings with her changes, to the Earth and its inhabitants. As Nancy and the others try to prepare themselves for whatever she may bring, the Earth itself stretches up to greet her. But people are starting to get sick. Very sick. Shifters, still in the limelight and widely feared, are blamed for spreading contagions to the rest of the population. The sickness spreads like wildfire, and those with the illness start going through strange, unimaginable transformations, shifters are met with even more intense scrutiny, and must defend themselves from the enraged and vengeful humans and survivors. Nancy tries to smother fires left and right, but fails (She's been feeling a little under the weather herself.). As Persephone reaches her closest point to Earth, they all—human, shifter, and survivor—have bigger things to worry about than fighting amongst themselves.
