It is every idea, every lesson, and every spark of ingenuity shared among every living person, also every trauma, every fire, disaster, plague, every deception, pollution, and brutality. It is all known experience. Imagine there is a line drawn from every mind up into the body of the spirit, feeding slivers of every human experience into one immense energy. Few people ever realize they are connected-it is not easy to sense-but if one finds their bond then all the knowledge of the living world lies at their fingertips. Just imagine..."

In this new world love comes at a price and history is preserved in the stars beyond the motion of Time. But this glittering young Earth is fragile and its integrity rests upon the memory of one woman who was never meant to die, yet too human to live forever.
