Description: An heiress to a great title on the isolated, seemingly backward planet of Haven, Genevieve has been carefully instructed in the Covenants -- the inflexible laws governing the women of her class -- and knows she must marry a nobleman of her father's choosing in her mid-twenties, and bear a child at age thirty. There is another Genevieve, however, who remembers the stories and secret knowledge she learned from her mother, now long-dead, and who questions in silence what is forbidden her to know. But the simple customs that rule and confine her life are merely a smoke screen masking a terrible truth that Genevieve is fated to uncover. For an unheard voice crying out across the centuries must be answered -- and a forgotten destiny must be fulfilled -- or else the entire civilization of Haven is doomed to be swept away on a cosmic sea of oblivion; to vanish without a trace, as if it had never been.
