This new fantasy-adventure series from N. D. Wilson, bestselling author
of 100 Cupboards, pits a misfit twelve-year-old against a maniacal
villain with a deadly vendetta. This one-of-a kind story is must read
for fans of Brandon Mull and Soman Chainani, and the start of a
thrilling tale from a masterful storyteller.
Sam Miracle's life is made up of dreams, dreams where he's a courageous,
legendary hero instead of a foster kid with two bad arms that can barely
move. Sometimes these dreams feel so real, they seem like forgotten
memories. And sometimes they make him believe that his arms might come
alive again.
But Sam is about to discover that the world he knows and the world he
imagines are separated by only one thing: time. And that separation is
only an illusion. The laws of time can be bent and shifted by people
with special magic that allows them to travel through the past, present,
and future. But not all of these "time walkers" can be trusted. One is
out to protect Sam so that he can accept his greatest destiny, and
another is out to kill him so that a prophecy will never be fulfilled.
However, it's an adventurous girl named Glory and two peculiar snakes
who show Sam the way through the dark paths of yesterday to help him
make sure there will be a tomorrow for every last person on earth.
