The Scattered Ones have fled through time and space, reborn each life into a new variant of their world...our world. Behind them, though, ever come the harbingers of destruction: the black, hungry shadows of the Darkling and the mysterious ghost shop that signals the end of all. In desperation, two of the refugees, Maia and Gilbrin, must turn to the captain of that vessel and hope that he can alter fate...for this particular Earth may be their last hope.
