Toume d'Nezuhmy only wanted to be a pilot, just like his mother. As the son of a chieftain, his clan had trained him to fly well, then sent him to bury his head in books. And he would have stayed in them, if not for the high priestess of the Draken clan.
After making a stop on her Island to deliver parts, she offers him a curious mission; To take a mysterious package to the Manuke-the clan of scientists and engineers who will study it to find its secrets. There is no pay, but if he is successful, the high priestess will grant him her daughter's hand in marriage.
Ever since his mother went missing, Toume has struggled to gain his father's approval. Could this be the chance he needs to show his father he is ready to be free of his books?
This delivery is not as simple as it seems, however. Rival clans will kill him for the package, and even if he is successful, a wedding is no guarantee of happiness.
A serious choice lies before Toume. Should he choose wrong, he could wind up dead, or worse-a failed union between him and the Drakhen heir would destroy the only alliance that protects his clan from destruction.
