In the future the UN has taken back a historical way to keep the peace. The kids of world market leaders are held hostage - if a war starts, they pay with their lives. Greta is the crown princess of the Panpolar Confederacy, a superpower developed of modern-day Canada. She actually is also a kid of tranquility, a hostage held by the de facto ruler of the world: the fantastic artificial intellect, Talis. The hostages are Talis' strategy to keep the tranquility: If her country enters a battle, Greta dies. The system has worked for centuries. Parents don't want to see their children murdered. Greta will be free if she makes it to her 18th birthday. Until then, she actually is prepared to expire with dignity if possible. But everything changes when Elian arrives at the prefecture. He's a hostage from a new American alliance, and he defies the machines that control all with their lives - and is severely punished for this. Greta is furious that Elian has disrupted their noiseless, set up world. But slowly and gradually his rebellion starts her eyes to the brutality of the rules they live under and to the subtle amount of resistance of her companions. And Greta discovers her own noiseless electric power. Then Elian's country declares battle on Greta's and invades the prefecture, taking the hostages hostage. Now the fantastic Talis is furious and approaching himself to mete out consequence - which surely means that Greta and Elian will be wiped out...unless Greta can think of a way to save them.
