A tale of three childhood companions - Nicolo, Cookie and Naomi - unfolds from the writer of Freesia. These friends were raised in a quiet, remote town on an untamed planet and face adversity while clinging to aspirations of departure and a brighter future. Will their bond endure the rigors of life and survive the challenges of war, shattered hopes, divergent aims, fractured allegiances, envy, and even treachery?
