The Mountains-to-Sea Trail shows off the most spectacular, historic and quirky elements of the North Carolina landscape. Stretching one thousand miles from Clingmans Dome in the Smokies to Jockey's Ridge State Park in the Outer Banks, the route takes in Fraser fir trees and pelicans, old grist and textile mills, working cotton and tobacco farms, Revolutionary War sites and two British cemeteries complete with Union Jacks.

In this imaginative history, reincarnating souls traverse the first thirty millennia of humanity. One soul, Shimmer, searches in life after life for Sita and Ahalya, his beloved wives.

Will good people survive when they can no longer move beyond the villains reach? Will there be war?
