Meet Marc'la, a breeder of prized caballus in Kasago. Her heart has long lived in the past – before her uncle died. Her friends have long since given up on trying to match her up with anyone. The thick walls around her heart are firmly cemented by pain and grief. When Ek-ul, her uncle's student, suddenly returns to visit, he uncovers all the pain she had tried to bury in her work. Can Marc'la forgive him? Can anyone get through her walls?
