This story is from “Sharpheart”, which takes place in the miniature universe called the Voidplane, where a gravity-like force pulls everything from both directions towards a flat plane. A variety of nations exist on floating landmasses on the plane. Living can be harsh for the mortal beings that find themselves here, but the Voidplane is saturated with a field of energy often referred to simply as “magic”, which proves to be a great aid in surviving here. The mortal races are not from the Voidplane, but were pulled in from an “outer universe”. There are native races of the Voidplane, and these are immortal beings which often care for the mortals.

This story follows one particular mortal being named Yezukh’ay, a member of the Suyen race and one living on an impoverished small island. A grand vessel that visited regularly to deliver supplies awoke a desire in her to find out what else is out there in “the empty”.
