The land of ‘AmberGround’ is one of an eternal night illuminated only by the artificial sun that hangs fixed over the capital city. The lands are broken into three areas;
Akatsuki, the island of the chosen people living in continuous light,
Yuusari, the land of partial light where the middle class people reside and
Yodoka, the land of eternal dusk where the lowest class scrape out a meager existence. Passage between the areas requires a government permit and is possible only over special bridges. Only Letter Bees, messengers tasked to deliver letters and items, are permitted unrestricted passage as part of their duties. Lag Seeing, a newbie letter bee, is sent by the post master to deliver a letter and parcel to the village of Silencio in the Yodaka region. So together with Lag’s (little girl) ‘dingo’ bodyguard, a
child of maka named Niche and her pet bait named Steak, they set off on a journey to deliver heartfelt feelings and words to distant family and friends in the far away corners of the AmberGround.
