Forbidden mysteries come to light, as a daring vision of Man's possible future unfolds on Earth's distant twin sister Aerda. With "let the end begin," on the lips of so many, this tale takes the view that the ending is just another beginning. Our heroine sees a magical new world born out of the ashes of the old, but wonders, "is there a place in it for me?" Follow Willow on the adventure to begin and end all others-across the vast frozen north, the desperate sojourn south, and the forgotten voyage to the mythical island of the Far Seers. If the background looks strangely dangerous and familiar, maybe it is.
