Información sobre este eBook
From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Ender’s Game, a “fast-paced and thoroughly engrossing” novel of a teenager who can see others’ pasts (Booklist, starred review).
Rigg is well trained at keeping secrets. Only his father knows the truth about the teenager’s strange talent for seeing the paths of people’s pasts. But when his father dies, Rigg is stunned to learn just how many secrets Father had kept from him—secrets about Rigg’s own past, his identity, and his destiny. And when Rigg discovers that he has the power not only to see the past, but also to change it, his future suddenly becomes anything but certain.
Rigg’s birthright sets him on a path that leaves him caught between two factions, one that wants him crowned and one that wants him dead. He will be forced to question everything he thinks he knows, choose who to trust, and push the limits of his talent . . . or forfeit control of his destiny.
And meanwhile, a ship approaches a terraformed world populated by humans with a long history very different from that of the humans of Earth . . .
“The combination of science fiction and fantasy as well as a surprising revelation at the end harken back to genre classics like Robert Silverberg’s Lord Valentine’s Castle and Roger Zelazny’s Nine Princes in Amber.” —School Library Journal
