Danna lives in Narri, a heirachical post-apocalyptic society where Fridans are at the bottom. Fridans are overworked, mistreated, and have no rights. Danna grapples with her life as a Fridan. Those at the top have special abilities that separate them from the rest, they are star-bonded. In a turn of fate, Danna acquires the one thing that she needs to ascend the rungs of society, but she will have to fight for it, every step of the way.
