After a mysterious meteorological event, a group of strangers calling themselves Castaways settled on the wrong side of the tracks in the sleepy beach town of Tanglewood. Afraid and suspicious of anything that crossed the sky, they kept to themselves. But since their arrival thirty years ago, they’ve gradually integrated into society. They own businesses. Sit on the city council. Their children go to the local schools. They’ve been accepted, although not entirely embraced.And they’ve always kept their secrets.When sixteen-year-old Hayley is uprooted from her comfortable life and sent to Tanglewood to live with the father she barely remembers, she learns she’s anything but the normal teenager she thought herself to be. Her father is the leader of the Castaways, and he’s brought Hayley here for a reason he refuses to share.Struggling to fit in, Hayley finds herself being judged for a background she didn’t even know about until coming to Tanglewood. Why is the quirky Castaway girl so hostile towards her? What’s with the darkness surrounding one of the popular boys? Why does the alien world Hayley keeps seeing in her dreams feel so familiar?When a frightening threat arrives in town, Hayley discovers that her place in Castaway society has been preordained. But destiny in Castaway society is governed by math and science. Can one sixteen-year-old girl who’s failing physics manipulate a mathematical history that has remained unchanged for thousands of years?

A short time ago, I was favored with a flying visit from my young friend Eustace Bright, whom I had not before met with since quitting the breezy mountains of Berkshire. It being the winter vacation at his college, Eustace was allowing himself a little relaxation, in the hope, he told me, of repairing the inroads which severe application to study had made upon his health; and I was happy to conclude, from the excellent physical condition in which I saw him, that the remedy had already been attended with very desirable success. He had now run up from Boston by the noon train, partly impelled by the friendly regard with which he is pleased to honor me, and partly, as I soon found, on a matter of literary business.

In the old city of Troezene, at the foot of a lofty mountain, there lived, a very long time ago, a little boy named Theseus. His grandfather, King Pittheus, was the sovereign of that country, and was reckoned a very wise man; so that Theseus, being brought up in the royal palace, and being naturally a bright lad, could hardly fail of profiting by the old king's instructions. His mother's name was Aethra. As for his father, the boy had never seen him. But, from his earliest remembrance, Aethra used to go with little Theseus into a wood, and sit down upon a moss-grown rock, which was deeply sunken into the earth. Here she often talked with her son about his father, and said that he was called Aegeus, and that he was a great king, and ruled over Attica, and dwelt at Athens, which was as famous a city as any in the world. Theseus was very fond of hearing about King Aegeus, and often asked his good mother Aethra why he did not come and live with them at Troezene.
