Summary
Thousands of years ago, an attempt to cultivate a rare genetic disorder for use as a weapon was stopped through an accord between all of Vulcan’s warring factions. No infant showing the genetic mutations of Keikudaya – the fierce blessing – would be allowed to live.
Over time, genetic screening made infanticide in such cases unnecessary. Should an embryo show the markers of the mutation it was terminated before quickening. Eventually, few people understood the real reason behind such ruthless caution.
Now the entire galaxy is about to find out.

Summary
It should have been an easy enough diplomatic mission for the first year of the Enterprise: respond to the call of a planet entering the space age. But when an engineer forces her way onboard, the crew is forced to confront the realities of the quiet planet. For refugee Kanna, the idea of personhood is worth risking her life, but the boundaries of freedom, love, and expression prove more difficult to navigate than she had imagined.
