Ian Prattis transports you to a faraway world free of Earthly problems -- or so it seems. Earth in the near future is dying due to Humankinds damage to the environment. Children are sent via spacecraft to a distant planet to escape Earth and restart Humanity. Red-haired Catriona is astonished to find raven-haired Rising Moon already lives on the planet via ancient shamanic means. A sharing of cultures and technologies ensues as they join other Earth refugees to form a caring community -- but can they withstand the dark threat of invaders from Earth bringing very Earthly traits of treachery, rape, violent power struggles and murder?
