His world is gone. His family is dead. All pre-teen Keyloi has left is his grief until a charismatic doctor finds him in the ruins. He offers a new beginning, a safe haven on another planet. But the doctor's kindness is a mask, the new world is a prison, and the truth becomes terrifyingly clear: his rescue was a kidnapping. Betrayed and alone, Keyloi realizes he has traded one disaster for another. To survive, he must transform from a lost boy into a fighter and unmask the man who turned his rescue into a trap on a planet where he faces danger at every turn.
