A coming of age story with light romance and adventure that would be appropriate for the young adult market without the preach-ey feel these books so often get. The premise is that mankind has ventured out into space and encountered n-dimensional beings that have altered the survivors abilities and perceptions. Different sub-species of man that have been altered for different environments get dumped together on a remote planet to work out their problems. So we have children growing up in a feudal society where magic is real trying to figure out their place and function.
