When the starship Valerie Hall failed to reach the terraformed world of its original destination but found a habitable substitute instead, the settlers split into two factions. First Landing devolved into a rude replica of medieval despotism. Seccon might promise more. Or so hope Gilead Tan and his companions. Gilead spent three centuries in cold sleep, held there by a First Landing custom that decreed only one sleeper could be awakened every fifty years. Once awake, Gilead freed two dozen of his fellows-all soldiers like himself-and led them into the wilderness. But close to two hundred civilians still lie trapped in the decaying cryo-cells of First Landing. Their captive slumber haunts him. Unfortunately, despite its vaunted freedom, Seccon has one rule: no one goes back to First Landing.

On the planet Nwwwlf, in the lost colony of First Landing, the original settlers carved out one sylvan valley, a lone outpost where humans flourish. But their bright hopes and best intentions devolved over centuries into a rude replica of medieval feudalism. Gilead Tan, who had been held captive for centuries in his sleeping cell, survived treachery and pain to free a small group of sleepers. But he and his friends now face the perils of life outside First Landing's sanctuary-without their powered armor, their tools and technology, or anything else they need save for a few chickens. Gilead must establish a safehold for his crew, but the alien environment does not welcome them and petty bickering threatens their meager resources. He hopes that a trace of smoke - spotted above a distant ridge - beckons them to a better place. It doesn't.
