Cultures collide at the end of a chain of generated domes.

Leoshine's mother hustles her into the wilderness of Myxolidia as her father abdicates his government to invaders. Captured by a lawless tribe of her own people, Leoshine is thrown at the feet of the invading Aeolian leader as a bedwarmer.

Avram subverts their expectations. The last thing he wants is a girl-slave, but he comes to depend on her in fulfilling his mission to rescue the Myxolidian atmosphere from environmental collapse.

Resham arrives home believing in the mission and eager to prove his loyalty and skill. As Avram's right hand he teaches Leoshine about her new master.

None of them suspect her true power and gift.

"'ao Kevath, Iliana and Resham lounged and chatted on the journey. They play a game. They know all the rules.' And that's the clearest, most succinct way of expressing the half-frustration, half-entertainment state of watching an unfamiliar culture in action that I've heard in a long time." (E. B. Roshan author of the Shards of Sevia Series.)
