Man has speculated about the possibility of beings visiting Earth for centuries. As early as the mid 11th century sightings of vehicles in the sky were recorded, and with most came the suggestion of some evil lurking from just over the horizon.
Could it be that maybe people from alien civilizations discover remote planets without malice, and just maybe it is not their objective to dominate with imperialistic ambition. What if these visitors are peaceful and wish to welcome the people of a new planet to a neighborhood of star systems. Star systems teeming with peaceful civilizations. Possibly they view the sharing of knowledge and technology as a commodity that strengthens planetary civilizations rather than committing to dominance through violence and fear.

First contact between alien civilizations is a difficult balancing act. There are so many unknowns and expectations, and the challenge is for both to find a common reason for making contact successful. Such is the ambition of Canar Nu Isso as she leads a delegation of emissary's on a mission to a new civilization, located in a new star system far from her home on Valdi. Although Canar is the daughter of a seasoned ambassador, this is her first mission since graduating from the INSAT academy. Little does she know that there are those who employ deception with the intention of preventing the Local Group from becoming acquainted with this new civilization. They will stop at nothing to disrupt the success of Canar's mission to further their ambitions. For them, everything is on the table, even murder.
