The Yawning Gap

the long version

Invisible boundaries have isolated Cor's village for centuries. He accidentally finds a way out. What he finds outside is a violent and blighted world in decline. He learns that the entire world has been fragmented by similar boundaries, and that they are draining life from the Elements—the godlike beings from whom all life flows. Life will end, unless Cor finds a way to halt its decline, together with fellow wanderers fated to join him. What will they find across those boundaries? This epic fantasy is Book One of the Wanderers Cycle.
