Unaware of her alien heritage, she is befriended by Eqin, a visiting scholar, and his colleague Hasan.

Years later her path again crosses that of Hasan whose personal quest for power and glory causes her life to take an unexpected turn for the worse.

Only when she is transported off-world by Anya, a Truth Seeker, into the safety of Atuk's Sanctuary, does she learn the truth about herself. But is she really who the Antediluvians believe her to be?
