Enlightenment is an orgasmic experience of sorts, and upon regaining consciousness, Retra renames herself Naif. The rest involves Retra nearly dying, but is saved by being bonded to a gang leader who sucks her thigh wound. The basic story is to find Joel, which is done within the first 150 pages.
Retra practises enduring pain, and then she’s off on a barge to Ixion, a land (island?) of freedom without rules, to where Joel has fled. (Yes, Joel has a nice normal name, but because Retra is the protag she has a super-special name – which is changed later to another super-special name.) Retra lives in Grave as part of the Seal community, a patriarchal society where technology is shunned – minus the obedience strip implanted in Retra’s thigh when her older brother Joel flew the coop.
