The stars at Hanna's birth predict greatness, but she
experiences precious little of it as the only girl growing
up at an all male Monastery. Everyone there learns the same
skills: how to perform basic magic spells and how to access
the Memories, a pictorial historical system embedded into
the brains of humans by the Ancients, a now defunct race.
Even as she studies the Memories, Hanna wonders what could
be so great about accessing them. Yet this ability is more
exceptional than Hanna believes; most humans have lost the
ability to access the Memories. Hanna earns exile for her father and herself when she
inadvertently reveals that she knows the secret language of
the Priests--a crime normally punishable by death. As Hanna
and her father embark on their journey over frighteningly
unfamiliar land and sea, searching for a safe place to make
their new life, she ruefully longs for the security of the
Monastery. Facing seasickness and walking distances greater
than she has ever imagined, Hanna's doubts grow that she is
bound for anything but despair and banishment. But the stars did speak the Truth. Greatness does await
Hanna--if only she can survive being kidnapped, betrayed
time and again, and can outrun a flood such as her world has
never experienced before.
