Travelers from a parallel world have bargained to save the future of his people and he cannot refuse their offer. Raymond does not believe that an alliance with the savages would result in a life-altering experience. He soon finds himself overwhelmed when an entanglement of emotion and love conspire to undermine his vow in the most unlikely place.

When her kin agree to an offer that will unite the races of their future, they do not realize what the sacrifice will cost her. Can the two peoples of separate societies survive the prejudicial position that has been hoisted on them? Will their sacrifice afford a future of liberty, or will heartbreak be the only consequence of their love?
