Disturbing events trigger a search for an object that three Cholan (Low Circle) teenagers on Ophilion believe has deep personal significance for them. Their journey of discovery takes dangerous turns, but by the time they understand what they are dealing with they realize that they have gone too far to abandon their pursuit.
They are joined by a girl from a very different kind of society who shares one undeniable factor with them. Together, they make a discovery that changes everything they thought they knew about their world, the universe, and themselves. They begin to understand why they were given the clues that led them to the discovery, and, more importantly, who put them in their path.
They are made an offer; their choice would be a determining factor in the fate of their world. The risks involved, should they accept, will be great - but refusing would tear their souls apart.
