It is set on the moon of a planet with two suns. The two suns make life on the surface of the moon impossible for the endemic humanoids, except for the Sun Children, who use mobile shelters and 'sun-suits' for protection from the sun's radiation.

The various intelligent species of the moon live underground, and two of these races are at war.

The main character is a warrior who is captured by the enemy, and then manages to escape to the surface, where she is given protection by the Sun Children. From there she returns home to find her son missing, and uncovers a conspiracy to keep the war in motion, and to end the secret peace talks, so that one of the Clans can continue making profit from their various drugs and medicines that are being used by the soldiers.
