Devastated by the dismantling of the group home where the “Ark Kids†discovered their extraordinary mental powers, and overwhelmed by the violence of an eco-terrorist bombing, Elijah has fled into the Adirondack wilderness, intending to leave a world he cannot save. But he is found by the terrorists and taken to their hidden compound, where a raven, like the one he becomes in his dreams, urges him to survive. Sharing a house with Amber and Kenny, the children of the terrorist leader, and their American Indian stepmother, he retreats into what he calls “dreamtime.†But he cannot deny his growing mental connection with Amber. Could she, too, be an Ark Kid? She has been taught that to save the planet from technological development, there must be “necessary losses,†like the deaths in the recent bombing. But faced with the reality of her father’s planned apocalypse, Amber at last begins to question her upbringing. Can the raven’s flight save her, Elijah and the world?
