From the hidden depths of a university swimming pool to the arid landscapes of the Arizona desert, the bustling streets of Tokyo to the skies above the Australian Outback, and beyond to the sands of Timbuktu and the flames of Ulaan Baatar-this anthology unveils the untold journeys of six remarkable individuals. Each faces a world divided, extraordinary powers, and the promise of a destiny they never imagined.
