Blackbird

Don't go outside. Don't speak. Don't look into their eyes. After an alien invasion fills Earth with extraterrestrial mushroom spores that kill billions of people, Levi and his small group of survivors struggle to stay alive. When his father goes missing during a scouting mission, Levi realizes he now has to take on the role of the leader. But when an unusual survivor shows up at their camp one night, his entire worldview changes. It's not a leader that the human race needs, but a commander. And Levi may be the military genius Earth desperately needs in the war against the ilks. The only problem? Feelings always get in the way.
