In the small fishing village of Rains Perish, at the edge of the Great Grass Ocean that dominates this part of the World, a young girl named Nary has begun to ask questions of her father and the other people that make up her small universe. Questions for which nobody can give her any answers that satisfy her. So with her friends-Travis the Pest and Gigo (the village's supposed simpleton)-Nary sets off across the vast sea of green to try and find the answers...a quest which will take them beyond the reaches of their comfortable village, past the people and places that expose them to a vast realm of possibilities, problems and potentially the greatest of all the legends: Somnol & Mortol: the nursery rhyme rulers of everyone and everything. The Twins Who Run the World.
