On the world of Amoth Henoth, Grier, is a human colonist living in a predominate Niven colony (Spire) raised by his adopted mother Neintren, with only vauge memories of his mother and visions of a place (Burn) that does not exist on the planet.  The planet has only been colonized for the past 650 years, the predominant races (Niven and Human have a contentious past and a forced racism for the protection of the Niven species (or so Grier has been told.)  Each race when they colonized this world gave up the ability to go back by renouncing the power that allowed them to be there. This book will go into the beginnings of Amoth Henoth and the life and back stories of Grier as he tries to make a life on the planet and the visions and the tugging power within that threatens to burst out and change everything he ever knew.
