Helped by humans who love and admire her, Acorna has found her people at last. Abandoned in space as a baby after the evil Khleevi destroyed her planet, rescued and raised by gruff human asteroid miners, she is at last among her own. But Acorna still has much to do before she can enjoy her peaceful home. The legendary resting place of the lost Linyaari ancestors has yet to be found. With the help of the rogue space trader Beck and his cat, RK (Road Kill), Acorna strives to right an unspeakable wrong and defeat an enemy even crueler than the Khleevi.
