"Have we really come up to now, when a head to of the Continent is so suitable something? We've bought and sold our swords for treaties, our daggers for claims - but our thirst for violence has never been quelled. And that's the crux of it - it can not be quelled. It's individual nature." For her 16th birthday, Vaela Sun will get the most coveted gift idea in all the Spire - a vacation to the Continent. It seems an unlikely spot to trip: a wintry, desolate land where two countries remain perpetually locked in fight. Most citizens fortunate to head to the Continent accomplish that to see the spectacle and violence of battle, something long vanished in the peaceful realm of the Spire. For Vaela, the warfare holds little interest. As the talented apprentice cartographer and a descendant of the Continent herself, she recognizes the journey as a desire come true: a once-in-a-lifetime chance to improve upon the maps she's drawn of this vast, frozen land. But Vaela's desire all prematurely turns to headache as the journey brings her face-to-face with the brutal simple fact of a warfare she's only read about. Watching from the protection of an heli-plane, Vaela is forever improved by the view of the bloody fight being waged very good beneath her. So when a tragic car accident leaves her stranded on the Continent, Vaela sees herself much nearer to hazard than she'd ever truly imagined - and with an entirely new perspective in regards to what warfare truly means. Starving, together and lost in the middle of a war area, Vaela must look for a way home - but first, she must make it through.
