Fleeing false accusations, a young woman runs from the merchandizing empire of TerrCo. Faking her death along the way, she reinvents herself as Lucinda Kartography and carves out a rewarding new life on a backcountry farm. But safety is fleeting and Lucy must fly north with her forever-friend Betta, and her spirit animal, Omen the crow. Readying for evacuation and political sanctuary in Euro, they discover a small treasure trove of diamonds moments before embarking their journey under the arctic ice. Share in their ill-fated detour to the cursed island of Celan, and in the fortuitous turn of events that leaves the fugitives free of their corrupt TerrCot pursuers. Watch over Lucy's shoulder as she hides diamonds-secret parting gifts for her undersea companions. Lucinda and her friends disperse, and the diamonds with them. Follow the five stones as they wing their way through Euro, the Hinterland, TerrCo, and the wasteland to the south, the Dead Zone.
