Petra Peña was a little girl who aspired to be a storyteller much like her grandmother.
However, Petra's world is coming to an end. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children – among them Petra and her family – have been chosen to journey to a new planet. It is up to them to continue the human race.
After being asleep for hundreds of years, Petra awakens to find herself on a new planet and that she is the only one who can recall Earth. During the voyage, a dark Collective has assumed control of the ship and is determined to wipe out the transgressions of humanity's history. Everyone on board has had their memories methodically erased, if not completely erased.
The tales of our history and whatever hope we may have for the future are now carried only by Petra. Can she bring them back to life?
