Había una vez . . .

Una niña llamada Petra Peña que no quería otra cosa que ser cuentista, como su abuelita. Pero el mundo de Petra está llegando a su fin. La Tierra ha sido destruida por un cometa, y solo unos pocos científicos y sus hijos --entre ellos, Petra y su familia-- han sido elegidos para viajar a un nuevo planeta. Son ellos quienes garantizarán la continuidad de la raza humana. Cientos de años después, Petra despierta en el nuevo planeta y descubre que es la única persona que recuerda a la Tierra. Un siniestro Colectivo ha tomado el mando de la nave durante el viaje, empeñado en borrar los pecados pasados de la humanidad. En forma sistemática, han purgado los recuerdos de quienes se habían embarcado... o directamente los han purgado. Solo Petra atesora las historias de nuestro pasado y, con ellas, las esperanzas para nuestro futuro. ¿Podrá devolverles la vida?
