In a world where children are tied up and live in a classroom for the first 16 years of their life, there is a girl who thinks differently. Trained underground, these 14-year-old girls were labeled "intelligent" for the rest of their life. Together, Nainya and her classmates will find out what it means to be bound.

NOTE: Even though this takes place in the 1750s, the dinosaurs are still alive. 11-year-old Shieila lives with the (fictional) tribe, the Zil'Marou. But to save her tribe -and herself- Shieila must be ready to sacrifice her life for her ankylosaurus Sagemho.
