One boy. Countless enemies. And a whole world to save before time runs
out.
Eleven years ago, a shattered band of ancient hunters captured an
unimaginable evil, and Phineas T. Pimiscule rescued his nephew, Sky,
from the wreckage of that great battle. For eleven years, Sky Weathers
has studied traps, puzzles, science, and the secret lore of the Hunters
of Legend, believing it all a game. For eleven years, Sky and his family
have hidden from dark enemies while his uncle Phineas sacrificed
everything to protect them. For eleven years, Sky Weathers has known
nothing of his peril. But on the eve of Sky's twelfth birthday and his
family's long-awaited return to Exile, everything changes.
Phineas has disappeared, and Sky finds himself forced to confront the
mysterious secrets of his past: Why did his family leave Exile eleven
years ago? What, exactly, has Phineas been preparing him for? And, the
biggest mystery of all, who is Sky really...and why does everyone want
to kill him?
