"Xam Valentine lives in a world where he does not belong. Where those of his kind are forbidden and hunted down. Caring only for himself, living a life that goes unnoticed, avoiding conflict, are the things that have kept him living the ordinary safe life he treasures more than anything. That very same man finds himself throwing away everything he has built in order to save the life of a lost child he just met. . . A child who ends up having no memories of his past or identity. . ."
