Lila doesn't remember the evacuations from earth.
Like the rest of humanity's survivors, she was born on Terranull. Only, she's never felt at home. How could she when everything was massively out of scale, the planet shared with the fearsome Terra - 70 foot tall beings that towered over them like giants from some ancient myth.
So when she meets Ryker online, she's thrilled to find someone who shares her passion for the old world, even swallowing her anxiety to meet up for a blind date. After all, how bad could it really go?
But as Lila's date turns out to be far more than she bargained for, she'll have to ask herself the question: can first impressions really be trusted?
