150 years after the Great War of 2198, the survivors have multiplied and split into tribes. To avoid a marriage to a man she does not love (and to keep the peace between The Floor People and The Water People), Councilman's daughter Fyra Va'tra agrees to a marriage between herself and Akvo Arnettson. Together, they must maneuver the trials of life in this new and dangerous postwar world.
This is a somewhat short story, but not too short. There will be no smut and no serious language; there will be drama. Any mistakes are my own.
