Constant fighting and raids have split the four peoples of an alternate world farther and farther apart. The gods, wishing to halt the conflict, decide to intervene. Enemies on opposite sides of the burgeoning conflict, Raven, Cera, Kel and Henrie, are transported to a strange land and told to travel west.

As they journey through the forbidding landscape, they learn things about each other and about themselves that they never suspected.
