Book Description

As The TreeKeeper, Kayana holds the highest office on Vios, a planet colonized hundreds of years ago but reliant on an archaic economic system. In return for money, the colonites bestow upon Kayana everything she might ever need—except the things she longs for most.

Chosen at age six for her office, Kayana never again left the Tree Hall. But her selectors did not see in her a restlessness, a yearning for adventure, that has grown stronger in adulthood. When the dashing star captain, Maddox, steals a kiss during a bestowment, he awakens in Kayana a passion she barely understands. But he also sets in motion a chain of events that will lead to his death—or the downfall of an entire planet.
