The Barrier nearly destroyed the nation of Marandia. After 1,000 years of continued decline, destruction came at them again. But they didn't break. The survivors created a plan to save what was left, gambling everything on a big idea.

Now, on the final stage of the plan, Marandia must begin preparations for a century-long migration to their new home on the seas—Fleet Marandia:

• The MS Milandia, a massive floating island, 25 miles wide, 25 miles long, with 80 decks.

• A fleet of 50 specialized ships for propulsion and protection, each one mile long and one mile wide.

• A fleet of 100 scout ships for exploration of surrounding seas and land.

Will Marandia survive its transference to the ships? Can they solve the mysteries of the surrounding seas and the Barrier? What are the origins of the Prime trees, Destiny Boards, and intelligent animals? Why has the nation lost all of its history? Can they find a way to return to their land?

Areal, Mattan, Tira, and Ginny are drawn into solving these mysteries that will redefine the future of Marandia.

Wade is a new novelist who found his ideas too easily constrained in the real world. But an epic fantasy adventure has no borders. Or should one say Barriers…
