Daya is one of the last of her kind. After watching her species massacred and her home destroyed, she and a young boy from her tribe become prisoners of the kingdom of Rodum.

When Daya and Lonan come face-to-face once more, it becomes clear that finding their freedom is crucial for their species to survive- to avoid a life of slavery.
