Ave comes from a...different society. Her life has been planned out entirely for her. From how she will spend her nights to who she will marry. On the day she turns eighteen she will go through the biggest change of her life and from that day on, she will serve in the military. But when she turns eighteen and things don't go right, she is cast out of the community with no knowledge of how the rest of the world works. And when a man her age, who is not exactly normal himself, finds her dying in the road what is he to do? And what is Ave to do when she's stuck in a word that is not her own?
