The Present Era, Commonwealth Universe: Lucas Aidan has always dreamed of becoming a Scout and serving with his hero, Captain Ian Fieran, whose daughter, Kay'li, has been his best friend since childhood.

When he's captured and brought back to civilization, Chorillan authorities fear "The Legend," who has taught so many Wildling children to survive.
