Summary

Boetema suddenly develops the ability to astrally project to other worlds, unintentionally possessing the bodies of people light years away. Inotu, her inquisitive brother with a pension for trouble, finds himself on the run after he's caught eavesdropping on an illegal business deal between small town business tycoons and their cyborg bodyguard. When Boetema accidentally gets someone hurt while in another girl's body, the siblings are forced to work together to solve the problems they've created on their planet and others. AFAR is a coming-of age fantasy tale about two siblings. Boetema canastrally project, and her brother, Inotu, is forced to grow up when their reckless parents leave to work as salt shepherds.

Inotu struggles to become a confident and supportive brother while they've been left alone by their parents.
