'Our homeland is beyond a great water. Our homeland will be found where we are able to fall off the edge of the land in the place where the sun sits down in the west.' A tribe of ancient storytellers begin a journey down the centuries in search of a mythical homeland in the West. Exotic, passionate, colourful, theirs is a long-forgotten world of dreams, folklore, visions and magic alien to the developing worlds around them. To counter the threat of an ancient curse that is fast shaping society, Iuzio the Immortal, the tribe's invisible guide, must convince the beautiful Horki and the adventurous Ruslo Ruk to observe the ancient ritual of casting a true reflection. But who is the mysterious Chi, the face from the future that keeps appearing? As the tribe travels beyond the water, over the sea to England and into an uncertain future, how difficult will it be for Iuzio to guide his people into understanding who Chi is and to rebuild the crumbling bridge between the mortal and immortal worlds?
