Three tribes of zebras have lived and fought on the floating island of Punda for a thousand years, and population pressure is starting to render it uninhabitable. They must find a new place to live, and soon, or their environment and society will collapse, and thousands of zebras will die. Can zebras who have been locked in an endless cycle of war and peace cooperate when faced with impending disaster? Will the mysterious Prophetess be able to keep the peace?

A picked crew of talented young zebras sets forth on their mission of exploration, where they will discover a world unknown to them, replete with wonder, danger, and maybe just a bit of magic. On the way, they will also discover things about themselves and about one another.

This story is contemporaneous with Empty Horizons, though it is geographically remote and there are no interactions between these characters and the main story characters. It is considered canonical with the main story. The sequel Sunken Horizons is in progress.
