When young Aster Wood finds a ragged piece of parchment in the hidden corners of his father's childhood home, he is pulled through the cosmos to a place no one on Earth knows exists. Here, the grass grows green. The wolves glow like the full moon. The wizards play with ancient knowledge, bringing dying plants back to life and making invisible that which they do not want seen.
And Aster, sick his whole life, is healthy again. The heart condition that has plagued him since he was a toddler is suddenly absent, and he finds himself running, no, flying across the countryside as if he were born to do it.
Now, he must chase down the long-lost sorcerer, Almara, to discover the truth about his family's past. And to learn what is yet to come for Earth's future.
But he must work fast if he wants to survive. Almara left not only clues, but enemies behind. If Aster loses the race to find him, and the enemy captures him first, he may never see Earth again.
