Mathias Lewis, in his senior year, is on the outside of the inside crowd. Yet his deepest problem is more serious--not knowing who he really is. That is, until his boring life is dangerously interrupted. He awakens to find he is an adept with unknown abilities, and for some reason a rancher-turned-bounty hunter and mysterious woman are trying to help him. He must find out who he is, why he arrived in Kosmon, and how to conquer a powerful enemy before it destroys everything he loves.
