Miles knows he is not human, but he cannot remember who or what he is, where he's from, or who put the odd metallic gauntlets on his arms. With clear memories limited to the last five years, he knows only who his human friends are and that it is his duty to protect them.On an Earth devastated by the Collapse, Miles works as one of several mules on a wagon convoy. When the convoy travels through a forest alive with deadly man-eating tree spiders, the trek becomes an utter disaster. Miles escapes certain death when two amazing truths break free from his chained memories-the strange gauntlets on his arms respond to his thoughts, and he has an innate ability to fly.Now, Miles travels an exhilarating, dangerous journey of self-rediscovery amid new allies and enemies also not of Earth. As time winds down to a deadline that could mean the end of all life on the planet he knows as home, he must make the right choice between friends who might be foes, foes who might be friends, or lose forever the memories he has finally regained after eighty-five years of darkness.
