This tale follows the lives of a mother, Davina Glasson, and several children. Although some lives are snuffed early due to bad choices, others start out anew, literally from infancy. The children suffer through multiple trials and tribulations as they begin an unexpected journey to adulthood and the difficulties they meet on the way. They also explore what exactly the term suburban conjures in the minds of adults and adolescents alike as they begin forging their paths and careers ahead of them in their home continent, Barat, and the Republic of Shantu. Within this ever-changing pattern of landscapes shifting with the unpredictable tides, and earthquakes, a young group of siblings make their way into adulthood and find all kinds of adventures lying in wait for them. The first individual whose short tale will unfold is the mother, Davina Glasson, who gives an opening notion of what is in store for the children.

Sar'tara is a huntress of a forest watched over by her mother, the Forest Deity. Living in an isolated tribe of only women, the only life she's ever known is competition against rival tribes —competition to win her mother's favor, as well as the rights and powers of the deity's chosen defenders. Unknown to Sar'tara, a warlord living in the "outside" world has long hated her mother. A warlord known only as 'The Lord Sun'. A man who parades himself as the herald of justice and is dead set on burning the forest down… Duke Kalin of the Xenarian Kingdom watches over his nation's borders. He has always left alone the mysterious and deadly forest that lies at the edge of his jurisdiction. But when the warlord encroaches on his land he's forced to act, leaving Xenaria's borders unwatched and open to invasion from another opportunistic neighboring nation… Two people, ignorant of each other's existence, will meet to kick start an epic!
