When TÃbor is eleven, he receives his official first mission: kill someone. Raised in isolation in a space station laboratory, TÃbor would rather visit Earth and study the wonders of nature than serve as a weapon. But his father-the head of Russia's astral projection research-has other plans for him. TÃbor's genetically enhanced astral projection makes him the perfect spy for his father's studies of psychic children-and TÃbor wants to make Papa proud.
After TÃbor fails to kill his first target, he begs his father for an easier job and is told to track down and bring home a psychic child who went missing.
Peruvian ten-year-old Annie has been bullied and belittled for as long as she can remember, her severe visual impairment making her everyone's target. She once yearned to become an astronaut, but now she settles for reading and writing about the wonders of space. Then her dreams become more real than any wonder she's read about, and she learns to control those dreams through astral projection, shedding the limitations of her waking life.
As Annie masters her powers, she discovers the real danger to astral projection-if she dies in the dream, she dies in real life. And in her dreams, someone is hunting her...
TÃbor doesn't know anything about the psychic girl he's chasing, but as someone who understands the torment of feeling trapped, he questions if he's doing the right thing. He must decide whether to please his father or protect a stranger. After all, dreams are not a place to make new friends.
