A young woman wakes up to find herself in a strange place, with no memories of who she is or how she got there. After a short run in with the Mandragoras, the resident bad guys, she is taken in by the Haven's Guard and is named Willow. She is introduced to Earthsong. Earthsong is a manifestation of the planet on which the plot takes place, using a manifest stone made out of her core element to take humanoid form. Each planet in the universe is alive in this way, and many of the planets create "children" - a sentient species that lives on the planet's surface. These are usually humanoid.
Earthsong tells Willow that she is one such "child" of a planet. However, she has been removed from her home planet's surface temporarily. Sometimes pieces of a planet's core element leak to the surface, and form soulstones inside the bodies of children. These soulstones are dangerous to their hosts: they grant the bearer access to the powers of his or her planet, but that same power is too much for the bearer's body to handle. Earthsong brings soulstone bearers to her surface to keep them from blowing up under the stress. Later, the soulstones can be gently removed, so that the child returns to his or her home planet.
