The Caliphate, a brutal galactic empire, hunts a race of shape shifters who are believed to be a threat to its rule. When Spry, an orphaned teenager, discovers that he is one of the hunted, a Shaper, he begins a journey into a reality that he believed to be half-myth--partially invented as a game for children. Knowing now that he has a people, a home world, and a family, Spry must use his newfound abilities to fulfill the Caliphate's prophecy of its own downfall!
A heroic coming-of-age tale in the tradition of the Arthurian legends and Star Wars.
