In the beginning, the original creative spirit designs the Seamless Universe, bringing forth the firmament that becomes the garden-our planet, Earth. From the first human child's laughter come the first faeries, and three distinct fey communities settle across the garden to protect humans from natural disasters produced by the forces of creation.
The Tureg dwell by the endless sea. The Candela thrive in the prairie landmass. These two fey communities have been feuding for millennia, but they must make peace to protect the Seamless Universe's delicate balance. The Dantorak, non-winged fey, incite natural disasters to kill humans, who are destroying the garden. If the humans are ever to survive, the Tureg and Candela must somehow resolve their differences and overcome the Dantorak.
The fate of the garden and the Seamless Universe lies in the forbidden love between one Tureg and one Candela-but will their innocent passion be enough?
This first of a series is a rich and imaginative adventure into our world's tiny microcosms, which have astronomical impact on the planet. A story of redemption, second chances, and good versus evil, The Seamless Universe is a page-turner for young adult fantasy fans.
