Sixteen-year-old Farien embarks on a voyage with several other people, seeking to find out why their world, Lunea, is slowly dying of drought.In ancient times the Moond was rich and greenAnd many creatures lived among her treesAnd named her Earth; Earth of many seas.Lunea was a dry and airless world,As white and dead and polished as a bone.Men called her Moon as in their sky she shone.But when Earth's magic first began to fade,Her magic creatures founded a new truth,And in their flight Lunea found her youth.--Book of NymzyrvaCanto XXVIII
