At the edge of the framework, a young bike mechanic is lost in the desert. It will fall on him to put the spiral back together again, to journey to the center of all things and figure out how to reunite Helios and Hyperion. But how is one man going to be able to stand against the forces of chaos and darkness, particularly when said forces want nothing more than to keep the spiral broken apart?
