When the New People of the First Ones are born and a new dispensation begins, things suddenly go terribly wrong in the Garden. To set it all in order as was intended, Rista and the other Chosen Ones embark on a perilous voyage to a new land rising at the top of the world--to find the lost book of the Ancient Ones mentioned by the Keepers of the Stone Seeds. By chance, they take along an explorer who seems to have his own designs. Together, they find a stunning surprise wrapped in a riddle they must solve before time runs out and they cannot escape. 'The Chronicles of the People' is the startling conclusion to the epic Rista's Tale.
