First Fall: The Canoe Thief

For years, the Varekai and Elikai tribes have each struggled in their own
ways to survive against the elements, hunger and the deadly creatures of Eden. For just
as many years, they have adhered to one rule: never make contact. The resourceful
Varekai are called female. And the Elikai? A mysterious, animal breed called male. When
an adventurous Elikai brother is caught stealing from the enemy, a beautiful,
inquisitive Varekai healer, the rules keeping the two tribes apart begin to matter less
and less. Stranded together in a perilous land, a curious instinct draws Varekai and
Elikai closer together than their world has ever dared. And nothing will ever be the
same.
