Codey navigates malicious, unstable codes and shifting unstable alliances as he struggles to understand the reach and effects of the disordered code that threatens the stability of his world and places his own family in peril. In the course of multiple challenges spread across space and time Codey and his allies reestablish stability in the kingdom and the digital world, but their incaution sets up an even greater adventure requiring brains, heart, commitment, and a sense of consequences.

In this wide-open setting, our hero and his dragon travel through time in search of stability and continuity which is to be prized above all. In this world the fundamentals of an ordered ethics are as critical as ordered code. The world depends on it.
