The earth is destroyed, almost inhabitable. Those few human enclaves which still can support human life are far away from each other. In one of them lives Arianna, ruler of Orania. As she tries to make contact with another town, she needs to fly over the Outlands - the biggest desert on earth. As her ship crash-lands, she must undertake the riskiest voyage of her life to get home. She must learn new skills, accept new relationships in places she never imagined and the impact she has on other peoples lives. This is a story about self discovery, for everybody on earth who meets new people. Humans have to adapt to their environment and most are unable to live anywhere else. Help comes sometimes from the most unlikely places as Arianna and everybody else will recognize very soon.
