The Tidelings of Dras Sayve

Maverick diplomat Emis Rindar journeys to the isolated Dras Channel, seeking the help of an old friend among the enigmatic knyads of Dras Sayve. Known for their technological progressiveness, the Sayvians are wary of Emis's unconventional ideas from abroad. As he aims to mentor a curious juvenile, Emis's upcoming venture promises to challenge both his skills and the traditional views of the knyads. Set 30 years before C B Lansdell’s Apidecca Duology, this story explores themes of innovation and cultural exchange.
