Imagine a Land... Where time unspools day by day, little changing beyond the markers of living;
Where history is lost, and only the present is real;
Where the land heals old wounds, and those who seek, find.
And now, imagine a restless Scribe who aches to know more...
To Study History...or to Live It? First the Aura, the life-enhancing energy blanketing their planet, came under attack. Now Borgonne, across the spell-cursed hills, threatens the peaceful life of the Midland.
When a new object appears in the sky, it triggers superstitious fear throughout the land. Could it be that the foretelling is true, and the object is a ship carrying thousands, even millions, of settlers to overrun their culture?
No wonder Quinn Featherstone is exhausted. As a Scribe, all she wants is to delve into the deep reaches of the Aura to research her people's history. But she is a senior Weaver, one of the select group of men and women who access the Aura directly to enhance their abilities. Inevitably, she will play a role in defending the Midland.
At the same time, she must fight for the life of the one man she can't trust, who may be her land's savior... or bring about its doom.
