Commander Lore of Earth's Military sent Mora Stevens and her teen cousin Celeste to planet Kenna to retrieve a rare plant called devil's tooth, an impossible mission with the limitations the Elders place on her. While on a run with Zen, her only friend and crush in that community, she discovers a body of purple water that calls her in one of the forbidden areas. What is this water, and why does it have such a strong hold on her? Searching for answers leaves her more confused and in fear that the Elders will discover she's broken the rules and send her back. When her cousin is kidnapped, leaving behind a series of riddles, Mora's quest becomes a race against time to find the devil's tooth, her cousin, and get out of Kenna.
