Calen Harper thinks he's just an ordinary boy until he accidentally levitates his cousin, starts speaking to the dead and learns how to use a Bajik to manipulate time. Twelve years ago a baby was found in a park in New York, adopted and taken to England by his new family. Now Calen and his family have been found and told the shocking truth. Calen is an Asarian, an ascended being from an alternate universe that has taken human form and amnesia has robbed him of his memory. He may not remember who or what he is, but the Culpinites do and they're coming to rip the life force from his body to grant them insurmountable powers. Now he's on the run, looking for the only place he may be safe-the sanctuary of Na Etra. And the only guides he has are two strangers who may themselves be Culpinites. Yesterday twelve-year-old Calen Harper spoke to the dead. Now he must learn who he really is-and survive the answer.
