Virgil was six years old when his fate was decided for him. He would marry a stranger and go live on another floating island, leaving behind the only world he ever knew. One week before the wedding, he can't help but be anxious. Will what awaits him be worse than what he leaves behind? Between the villagers that treats him as an outcast and his parents, indifferent when they're not abusive, there doesn't seem to be much to regret. And yet... The music begins, the temple's doors open. Who will be waiting for him at the altar?

Logan's fine. Really. He has no problem (has resigned himself) with the fact that his best friends (whom he also has a terrible crush on) are dating. The fact that their other two friends are *also* dating absolutely doesn't pose any additional problem. Neither does Logan being the sole only child of their group. Really, he's okay. But then comes Virgil, a teenager (barely adult, really) from the north, fearful, promised in marriage and destined to give up everything to join them. The good news is, the "giving it all up" part isn't actually that bad. The bad one, well... Virgil's life has been turned upside down, for the better. And what Logan doesn't know yet is that he's about to do the same for him. And that is a second good news. Or: one year after From tree to tree
