I’ll never leave you, even if it’s me. Yang makes a promise in spite of fate; fate makes her regret it.
Eight teenagers run away from home, bound by a duty to return for a ritual in which one of their lives will be traded for the rest of the world’s peace. At least, that’s what they’ve been led to believe since birth: Be strong, be smart, and be alone. If you are to die, it is an honor.
