Its chosen center is Eda, the daughter Tavra abandoned after the disaster.With a deserter drummer and a pass-runner from a country that refuses fixed borders, Tavra crosses roads that kick sideways, a bridge performed in rain, and mountains moving against her route. The evidence beneath her feet is worse than she feared. Permanent stillness will not only kill the dancers at the center.

She believes mastery can make the Measure safe, and the man who trained her has spent a lifetime preparing to prove it.
