Kiran is from Llyador, a magical country of creatures of all types who communicate telepathically. Silver lives on Attaliesia, the land of humans. The two are brought together at their Matching ceremony, which magically pulls Kiran from his own land to bond him to her. As the only Llyadoran who can speak Attaliesian, the burden falls on Kiran's shoulders to bridge their worlds. For the sake of all Llyadorans- and the sake of love between him and Silver. Kiran, however, is almost human. Most Llyadorans are similar to animals. The Attaliesians fear him. Can he earn their trust and be with Silver, his Matchmate and the girl he comes to love? Llyadorans are not being treated well at the hands of the humans. Can he make the humans see that Llyadorans are creatures with rights of their own who deserve to be treated with respect for their sacrifice?
