Candy likes kindness. She loves empathy, generosity, and sweetness; things not valued by most of her people. Feuerlings are made of fire and the worlds were created for their consumption. That's what everyone tells her anyway.
Andy used to gaze up at the stars to avoid life on Earth, but these days life is very acceptable. He has his own little cabin in the woods, and he's carved out a life teaching astronomy to others. So, why does it feel like he's lost that spark, like something's missing? That is, until Candy ignites his curiosity again. She and nine other feuerling ambassadors are sent to Earth to find a new homeworld to share. She's an alien from another planet! But soon enough, her random acts of kindness and her curiosity warm his heart in a way that has nothing to do with what she is and everything to do with who she is.
