From the introduction: Long ago, the world was torn from the heavens, and drifted through the great void. The oceans boiled away in the West, and not a sapling endured the cold of the East. One Sea remained, and the Potamis flowing to it, where the naked clashed with the civilized. And yet she remains, the spirit in every leaf and beating breast, Aenya herself. Welcome to Aenya. User summary: The author also has published two novels in the Aenya setting - Ages of Aenya and The Princess of Aenya.
