AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A series set many years in the future where, as far as the people of the Valley know, they are the only people still left in the world. No one leaves the valley except the scavenging Collectors, looking for metals and new plants—no one, except for two children, Possum and Mopoke, and their companion, the former Collector, Desert Wind.
