Earth is just one world in a macrocosmic "Circle" of worlds, and Caretakers are born with a self on each world. With the guidance of Oliver, Miles must journey in consciousness to all worlds in the Great Circle, undertaking Caretaker Quests that thwart creation's enemies who, guided by the Destructive Force, seek to bring creation to an end.
