As he dwells on tales told to him by a doting grandmother, he begins to believe he might have been born in the wrong time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne scant tale of a past age hints that the legendary Sorhkafâré led some of Loni’s people to the east at the end of the great mythical war. Loni dreams of those forgotten Departed ones, wondering if their descendants still exist. The answer may be more and less than he hoped in his quest to find where he belongs.
