Glance is a Treaty, a living representation that two governments have made a bond. She prepares to become the link between a tie of 42 other solar counties, collectively called Midance, and her small county of Vii. Going to live in the heart of Midance, she knows that she is giving up almost every freedom she has ever known, including writing to her best friend whom she has never been allowed to meet. After being kidnapped, though, she finds that maybe her life doesn't have to end so soon, and maybe she is closer to her friend than ever, but in her fight to get to her home in Midance she discovers that she must choose to retake her role as a Treaty-consequently destroying her friend's home- or to stay in Pite- killing her own home.
