Zachary is an apprentice in the Interhistorical Alliance, protecting history from the evil Scatterers. While waiting in Tucson for his ghostly mentor, Maria, he's given a mysterious portal made by his uncle Zamiel. Years ago, Zamiel was reportedly killed in a car accident, but now Zachary wonders if his uncle could have somehow survived. Upon Zachary's return to The Connedim -- a dimension connecting the past and the future -- Zachary discovers that Zamiel was well known in the Alliance before his disappearance. Evidence seems to paint Zamiel as loyal to the evil Scatterers, but Zachary refuses to believ it. The only way to discover the truth is to find Zamiel. Zachary knows the portal is the key...if only he could figure out how to use it!
