About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is wrestling with the complexities of cultural clashes or the ethical weight of protecting one's way of life against progress. It is an ideal choice for the contemplative teen who feels like an outsider or who is beginning to question the 'might makes right' narrative often found in history and science fiction. The story follows a young apprentice on a peaceful planet who uses her psychic dream-weaving abilities to perceive an incoming threat: a spaceship of human colonists looking for a new home. As the two civilizations collide, the book explores profound themes of empathy, the ethics of colonization, and the responsibility of leadership. It is a sophisticated, thought-provoking read for ages 12 and up that encourages readers to look past their own perspectives and consider the soul of a community.
