Full-blooded Cecilian, Margaret "Peggy" Millington meets feisty Antonina Lowell and gracious Lillian Sinclair whilst attending university in the farthest end of the Southern region of Cecily. The three friends find love and embrace it as they try to find its meaning, all but the one young woman who desires it the most; when everything else seems lost, she meets a mysterious and infamous young man with an uncertain identity and an even stranger origin. She will give her all to make it happen, all her might and dedication to her academic performance, but no effort will ever surpass her passion and powerful longing for true love and friendship, which is exactly what kindles her everlasting womanly flame.
