Fifteen-year-old Mille failed the academy exam again, putting her future in jeopardy. Her mother, in desperation, employs the nefarious Klado. She is sure that under their strict tutelage, Mille will finally pass. But, as she soon discovers, Klado is much more than a stern disciplinarian and Mille is preparing for much more than an exam.
This mystical space odyssey through a galaxy on the other side of the universe is about diverse cultures, how they emerge, who they favor, and who they reject.
