Leu'na and her family had to run away from home, as the sky people were on a chase looking for them. They arrived at a island full of many Metkayina people who had no interest of giving them shelter. But the Olo'eyktan Tonowari, agreed to give them what they were looking for. Since she's been adapting to her new home, she finds herself distracted by one of the Metkayina boys, Ao'nung. She finds him very easy to talk to, and finds it very hard not to fall in love with him, but she just can't get herself to trust him. Because trust means she has to tell him things, and that's just something she physically can't do. She can't tell him that her and her family are running from the sky people. She can't tell him the sky people are trying to kill them. If she does that will put her and her family at risk. Is she willing to risk it all for him? Will she trust him? Will he find out?
