Found
as an infant drifting alone in an escape pod in deep space, Acorna
was reared by three youg asteroid prospectors who raised her as
their mascot, their miracle girl, and saved her from those who
would destroy her mysterious powers.
But
now Acorna has become a young woman who has dreams of a shining
world with blue grass and green skies. She still has a translucent
horn in the middle of her forehead, she still has her powers to
make things heal, and grow, purify, but she longs to know where
she came from - what world in the galaxy was her home?
With
one of her old protectors, she sets off on a quest to find her
own kind, but even as she leaves, a strange craft appears in the
skies, peopled by gentle and mysterious telepaths who bring not
only terrible news of a frightening race of invading space killers,
but also the memory of an infant, lost in space, long ago.....
