Max leads her winged family against their most dangerous threat yet. The Flock has battled enemies before, but now they confront Re-evolution, a deadly experiment designed to create a superior master race while eliminating everyone else. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel have always fought side by side. Their bond has been their greatest weapon against the scientists who created them and the forces hunting them. But this time is different. The six winged kids find themselves scattered across the world, some hiding, others trapped in captivity. They cannot rely on each other when they need it most. Max must find a way to reunite her family and stop Re-evolution before it destroys humanity. The fate of the world rests on whether these genetically modified teenagers can overcome their separation and work together one final time.
