This science fiction novel follows Araminta, the Second Dreamer, as she becomes the target of a galaxy-wide search by government agents and others who wish to either prevent or facilitate the pilgrimage of the Living Dream cult into the Void. A parallel story of Edeard, the Waterwalker, is also told as he is faced with powerful enemies and difficult choices. The Void may contain paradise, but it also poses a deadly threat, and time is running out to prevent the monomaniacal leader of the Accelerator Faction from entering and seeking dominion.
