Ay'len and Ma'ki have been in love since they were children, but, as they grow up, they realize that their love can never be. Ay'len, although a boy, was raised together with his sisters, to learn women's ways, far away from all the dangers boys to become men had to face. Destined to become the tribe's next healer, his gentle soul is also destined to protect the village. Being born under a blue moon, he is considered lucky, but his luck and happiness are not his, as he must belong to the entire tribe. He needs to remain pure, away from temptations of the flesh, so he must quash the love he feels for Ma'ki and dedicate himself to a selfless existence.

Ma'ki is a hunter and the tribe chieftain's first born. His purpose is to carry his bloodline, by marrying and fathering children. Yet, as years go by, his love for Ay'len grows stronger. To his family's distress, he refuses to take a wife, despite knowing that Ay'len could never be his.
But not all tribesmen see Ay'len with good eyes and danger has a way of finding him. His androgynous appearance provokes confusion and lust, and a moment arrives when a man decides to challenge the tribe's rules and make Ay'len his wife. Without protection, the healer is left to be devoured by a beast of a man and his lewd desires. When Ma'ki discovers that his one true love is bound to another, he realizes his entire life has been a lie.
When rules are broken, and gods are scorned, will true love survive?
