"I've had many faces. Many lives. I don't admit to all of them. There's one life I've tried very hard to forget — the Doctor who fought in the Time War."
The Great Time War has raged for centuries, ravaging the universe. The Daleks and the Time Lords unleash ever more devastating weapons, and on the outer rim of the Tantalus Eye human colony planets lie overrun under Dalek occupation. A weary, angry Doctor leads a flotilla of Battle TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold until his own TARDIS crashes to the devastated world of Moldox. Trapped amid apocalyptic wreckage and Dalek patrols rounding up survivors, the Doctor seeks answers to why the Daleks spare the humans. He meets Cinder, a young Dalek hunter; together their search takes them from the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey and sets in motion events that will alter the fate of everyone involved.
