"Science tells us that energy, while it can be transported and transformed, cannot be created or destroyed. Perhaps the same can be said about life."

    Hyrna Mal'vai, a forest dwelling Nemarin on the way to the moon of Juxta II, has just crashed her ship The Frigate on an uncharted planet.  She's seen land, but apart from a lonely archipelago, almost the entire planet as far as she can see is made up of water.
    
    Forced to take to the water, Hyrna's main goal is to try and survive until a rescue ship arrives. However, as she encounters more and more of the native life, she uncovers the mysterious past behind the planet - and her connection to a legendary planet forgotten by memory and lost to time.
