Six elders wake up in six unfamiliar places, flung out of their lives by a mysterious force. Disoriented and afraid, they must discover what has happened to them and survive in their new surroundings. Estranged from the source of power in Maween, will they have the strength to keep themselves safe and find their ways home? Or, like the queen before them, will they be lost forever?
