Bookroo's summary

Milo faces a dire choice: risk everything to save both human and magical realms or protect only himself. With vengeful enemies, vanishing allies, and haunting dreams, the stakes are high. As nefarious fairies and zombie-like holo-men threaten Earth, Milo must unite humans and Nightsiders to avert catastrophe. Will he find the courage to confront his fears and forge an alliance, or will darkness prevail? The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.

From the publisher

Milo must choose between risking his life to save both the human and magical universes–or to live and save only his own–in the explosive and fast-paced follow-up to the first novel in the Nightsiders series, which Kirkus Reviews called “the perfect mix of science fiction and magic” in a starred review. After joining forces with the magical Nightsiders and surviving a trip to the enemy Bugs’ Hive ship, Milo Silk still has a lot to fear. The Huntsman has pledged a revenge worse than death on Milo, a group of nefarious fairies are bent on taking back Earth, and zombie-like holo-men are trapping humans for the Bugs to take. Even more unsettling is that the Witch of the World has disappeared and a mysterious boy is haunting Milo’s dreams in her stead. But none of these threats compare to what may happen to the world if the humans and the Nightsiders don’t unite to fight for each other.
