In this era, people are given necklaces at birth. On these necklaces, an empty, corked bottle hangs, and as time goes by, the bottle fills with multicolored sand in a specific pattern. When you come of age, your bottle will fill entirely to the top.

Trinity Harpers, a girl who to this point, had been living a life void of interesting stories to tell, has just come of age. And her match - well, he's not exactly the Prince Charming she had in mind.
And destiny is a funny thing - it doesn't like to be messed with.
