Tizbeth laughed and inhaled in the sweet heather from the hills surrounding her village. She wished she could have convinced the counsel to let her be a trade delegate so she could roam the countryside. She had never travelled to the sea or even to Loch Ness where a serpent still swam.

As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality.
