The roots of the Eternal Trees hold the world together. So say the Believers. But Lord Yoad, a wealthy and powerful timber baron, plans to harvest them.
Chaff, an orphan stableboy, suddenly receives Awareness magik-the ability to manipulate LifeForce particles-on his ten-and-six birthday. He sets out to find his beloved Lady Meave, Lord Yoad's wife, who has disappeared. He struggles to control his magik while he searches for her and for his true identity.
When Lord Yoad's men fall an Eternal Tree, and the world begins to crumble, Chaff must use his magik to stop the LifeForce Particles from moving. Only he can save his true love and all the people of Prand.
