Margaret Stohl - Author
This is fast-moving speculative fiction about four unusually important young people confronting an inhuman threat, a missing ally, difficult feelings and the consequences of trying to preserve humanity.
The Icons came from the sky. They belong to an inhuman enemy. They ended our civilization, and they can kill us ... most of us. Dol, Ro, Tima, and Lucas are the four Icon Children, the only humans immune to the Icon's power to stop a human heart. Now that Los Angeles has been saved, things are more complicated - and not just because Dol has to choose between Lucas and Ro, the two great loves of her life. As she flees to a resistance outpost hidden beneath a mountain, Dol makes contact with a fifth Icon Child, if only through her visions. When Dol and the others escape to Southeast Asia in search of this missing child, Dol's dreams, feelings and fears collide in an epic showdown that will change more than just four lives - and stop one heart forever. In this riveting sequel to Icons, filled with nonstop action and compelling romance, bestselling author Margaret Stohl explores what it means to be human and how our greatest weakness can be humanity's strongest chance at survival.

The characters confront an inhuman threat while the story considers whether humanity’s greatest weakness might help it survive.
Prepare for a blend of danger, loss-related stakes, visions and romantic conflict rather than a purely action-focused adventure. The ending involves a major change.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
