Little does he know that his simple act of kindness will have profound implications for the future of our species.

She's on the run from a government-funded private corporation called Inotek, having just escaped from an insititutional facility after incapacitating an orderly by mysterious means unknown even to her. Sophia is heading towards the General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park, a tree she's been dreaming about for as long as she can remember.However, Inotek isn't the only one seeking Sophia. Among her other pursuers is Scott Logan, a warrior with the number 13 tattooed on the back of his neck who has lived hundreds of lives over thousands of years, preparing for a destiny whose time has finally arrived. After a long, convoluted chase, he's put in Sophia's path and given orders to deliver her to a mysterious creature named Samuel, who is going to help her fulfill her true purpose. But there are other forces at play that have their own plans for Sophia. Within her is the power to alter the outcome of the shadow war that has been fought alongside the physical world for thousands of years. How she chooses to use this power will alter the makeup of our civilization forever.
