The Worlds
The Fire Tree series moves between the world we know, the peaceful Inner World, and the vast magical Outer World.
Time, memory, and magic work differently in each one.
Another World is the world we know: the world of ordinary life, work, memory, families, cities, and time. Most people live here unaware that other worlds exist.
But some can cross beyond it.
When travelers return from the Inner or Outer World, they come back to the same moment they left — and most of them forget what happened beyond.
The Inner World exists in the same realm as the Outer World, but it is quieter, gentler, and more familiar to humans. Its villages and small communities lie among coastlines, forests, hills, and mountains.
Some people arrive here after passing on in Another World. Others may enter while still alive, though few understand how or why.
Real magic is strongest in the Outer World, though traces of it remain in the Inner World: forgotten caves, enchanted springs, whispering forests, and barriers no one knows how to break.
The Outer World is the realm of true magic.
It is enormous, ancient, wild, and largely unexplored. Dragons live there. Trials wait there. Old powers still shape the land.
Only a few people can enter, and even fewer return unchanged.
More places will be revealed as the series continues.
