description: On the planet of Thalassa, history is passed on from generation to generation, village to village by Storytellers. Crowds gather in the public marketplace to listen, paying them with coins, with food, with lodging, whatever they can offer. For a woman who calls herself Teller, storytelling is her life. She travels the many oceans of Thalassa with her harsel, the great sea-beast to whom she is telepathically bonded. At her side is a young street boy named Samad, whom she reluctantly took as an apprentice. He will grow up under her care--both delighting and disappointing her with the choices he makes along the way. And he will eventually discover the secret at the heart of Teller's life--a discovery that will change him profoundly...
