Y/N, chosen to represent North America, is taken aboard a joint human-alien research station where seven young people from Earth and seven from the Thaloryn ocean world have been selected from each continent to join a classified experiment. Among them are Zoe of Europe, Ethan of Africa, and Kaelith and Lysera, two Thaloryn chosen from their own planet. The truth is horrifying: each participant will be forcibly transformed, humans rewritten into alien bodies while the aliens are changed into humans, all to test whether two civilizations can survive in each otherâs forms.

It was Marco who noticed it first. âStar, don't freak out, but the goblin at that creepy-looking booth over there is selling you check marks.â Star gasped, slapping her hands over her hearts, âthat is SO not cool! the only person who gets to give my stuff away is me!â her Earth sky blue eyes darkening as she followed his outstretched finger to the goblinâs market stall andâ âreleased a huff of air through her lips, her hands and wand falling back to her side, golden tresses shaking with her bouncing movement. âMarco, I thought you said he was dangerous. Like, taking âem off with magic or something. Thatâs normal here.â âHe looks suspicious.â Marco protested, Star grabbing his hand and dragging him over to the stall through the crowd. âAnd heâs selling pieces of your face! How is that normal?â âBecause,â Star said, stopping for a tentacled creature pushing a baby carriage, âit just is. This is one of Mewniâs outer-demational trading ports, itâd be, like, Janna-levels of weird if it didnât haveââ âSymbols of the Butterfly queens! Symbols of the gods!â The goblin slapped the top of his stall and peered up at them, eyes crossing behind a long and crooked green nose as he took them in. âCustomers. Actual Customers. Roy was right, you should never give up on your dreams.â A riot of colors and shapes, in all materials and sizes. The blush of Starâs hearts patterned in dragonscales. The brutal magenta of her motherâs diamonds cut into edges of knives, painted at the bottom of teacups. Rabbits and moons and lighting bolts. âStar, what is this? Itâs completely different from the stuff they sell at Butterfly castle that looks like you and your family.â âPsshhh, Marco, donât be ridiculous. That!: royal merchandise, these are the symbols people use to invoke our specific domains as gods. Kinda like how you said some people on Earth carry around and bones of dead people.â âSaintsâ artifacts, Star, and they donât do that anymore.â
