After the flooding of Earth, humans separate and go in two different directions for refuge; one hiding beneath the waves, while the others blend into the countless stars in the night. The two societies haven't interacted in decades, that is, until something forces them to.
Veyl (vey-el) is just an ordinary girl in the city of Kapana, or so everybody assumes. Her whole life, she's just wanted to blend in, fit in, and be unnoticed. Everything was going just as she hoped it would, until something forces her to change. Something that was only supposed to affect the citizens of Kapana as a whole, ends up changing her. An ordinary girl, living an ordinary life.
But what no one ever asked... was she really just an ordinary girl?
