To the Pelbar, the sentence seemed a living death -- exile to distant Northwall for a year, facing barbarian tribes, isolated from the security and order of Pelbarigan society. But the rebellious Jestak embraced his punishment -- for only with the lore of Northwall and the battle-craft and bravery of the wild tribes could he free the woman he loved from the slaveholding Emeri. This he swore to do -- even if he had to destroy utterly the power of the Emeri . . .

One thousand years after âthe time of fire,â a gentle craftsman and flute player forsakes both his true love and birthright to seek the fabled Shining Sea. Stel, born of proud but rigid Pelbar culture, embarks on an epic quest across an America dramatically changed by a long-ago nuclear war. Following him is his beloved wife, Ahroe, equally determined to find Stel, avoid disgrace, and share her own precious secret.Â The Ends of the Circle is the second novel in the highly praised Pelbar Cycle, a classic series of postapocalyptic novels about the people of the Pelbar. Imaginative and reflective, this rousing tale introduces Stelâengineer and poet, adventurer and musicianâone of the most memorable characters in modern postapocalyptic fiction.

The Ends of the Circle

In a time of boundless travel when nations are separated by lightyears, Umber Treggevvthann, a Gorboduc biologist, finds himself in search of purpose and belonging after he is held captive by those who would call his people vandals. Despite his strong sense of duty and loyalty, Umber befriends those who would hurt him. Stripped from his native home, he develops into a humble man, falls in love, and attempts to unravel a dark mystery that has chaotic and disturbing implications, for it is his duty to science that makes him a man of truth-no matter the betrayal and loss he encounters on the way. And in the end, Umber discovers what it takes to truly win.
