"There was a time when a girl's wedding day was the happiest day of her life." In Falside, girls are a rare commodity; protected, controlled, and tracked by the administration. They spend their days idly waiting to be married off to the highest bidder. When the marriage announcements include Tale's lover, Freda, the women will do anything to stop the match from happening. Their relationship is forbidden, and as members of the resistance, they're already risking everything. But as their attempts to stop the wedding fail, both women have to decide what they're willing to sacrifice for love.
