The Taletellers' Slumber — C.M. Simpson

When Grey, the colony's Head Botanist, disappears, Kiralee worries. When he has not returned after five months, she goes looking for him, for Grey is more than chief botanist, Grey is a storyteller at heart, a believer in the importance of the tale -- and so was every single one of those who disappeared before him. Can Kiralee discover where they went, before the stories are lost forever?
