Overview
Finn Barber stopped aging the day he turned fifteen in 1941.
For decades, he's wandered across America, never growing older, and always on the run from terrifying creatures that hunt him at night, and strange, sentient thunderclouds that pursue him during the day.
Haunted by the loss of his family and plagued by an endless adolescence, Finn drifts alone from town to town, never forming any lasting connections.
But when the Alvarez family discovers Finn sleeping in the office of their small Los Angeles café, they don't throw him out. Instead, they offer him a job, and take him in as one of their own. After endless years of loneliness, Finn finally finds himself surrounded by people who care about him.
That brief sense of normalcy is shattered when Gwynne Arden appears. Gwynne also stopped aging the day she turned fifteen in 1941. But unlike Finn, she knows exactly why: the two of them have been chosen by an ancient, extraterrestrial race to defend Earth from an impending cosmic invasion.
Now, Gwynne has to help Finn unlock incredible supernatural powers they've both been gifted. But Finn is anywhere close to being ready when they learn the alien invasion has already begun, and it's time for The Forever Boy to face a destiny he's been running from his entire life.
