A ghost. An alien. A race in time.

When Faith Cloudfoot is kidnapped off the streets of Phoenix, she almost dies at the hands of her attacker.

Rayner has a special ability, one that weighs on him like a curse. He can see spirits trapped in between life and their final resting place. When he notices Faith for the first time, he studiously ignores her until he realizes her and her kidnapper may be a stepping-stone to get him back to his own universe.

As the attraction between them grows, Rayner finds himself breaking the code of ethics set by him and his fellow warriors. When Faith nears death, Rayner realizes that he must do everything in his power to save her, because if he doesn't, he may just lose himself.
