Her parents do well in hiding her, however, when she turns seventeen, her parents have to make the decision to let her go for her safety and their own. Will she discover why second-born children are shunned in their society and bring back the harmony between the children born second and the rest of the world?

Leilani finished her call and took her seat. Her previous languid deposition was completely lost from the phone call. Christana excused herself and left the room.

Leilani allowed her as she made herself comfortable on her chair. Her back was straight as she sat, and her lips were pulled down slightly at the sides. "I don't know if it is true, but I hear that a picture of a flying figure was posted on the internet a few minutes ago."
