"A tale to tell of wondrous lands, where not one grain of logic stands..." Aya is a Changeling. Born in another world with no memory of how she got to the land of Thalium, she is locked away with others like her and taught that she is a burden on all those outside the prison walls. But one night she escapes, and learns that nothing is quite as it seems. The next thing she knows, Aya is on a journey across the world to save those who seem to hate her the most. From sky pirates to ancient bloodlines, she is thrown into the path of all manner of strange things - yet it is not long before she realizes that her trials have had a greater effect on her than she first realized, and soon she finds herself battling with as many monsters inside her own head as in the world around her. For all of us have demons to fight, some tangible, some inventions of our own minds. Even Aya, a small inconsequential girl in a world far away from ours, must come to learn that the greatest strength is already within us. Will you join her? ..........................................
