Set in the future, this dystopia follows Ketsia. A 17 year old girl who, like any other girl, can't wait to meet her mate. But after a month of waiting, she slowly starts to fall in love with Jayce, her childhood friend, and starts to become skeptical of the system that The Ones have set in place. She knows for sure he isn't her mate because their times have never matched up and their Marks could never be more different. They're so caught up in their emotions and everything to even think about the consequences it might bring. But, Jayce and Ketsia can't help but wonder, what's going to happen when the time runs out and they're still together? How will their future Mates feel if they find out that the one they are supposed to be with is in love with somebody else? The fact that Ketsia and Jayce are in love is such a taboo thing that The Ones may react horribly and the consequences could be disastrous.
