The Clans of the NorWes are celebrating with the Elvonians, the arrival of yet another from the Pods--Li. Kutch is finally reunited with Li, but comes to the hard realization that he and Li may never have the relationship they once shared. Now that she has her own body, Li has freedoms and desires of her own, along with some abilities that will need guidance from Novia and Utahia. Kutch decides to take on a new adventure--searching for an ancient repository of books, guided by an outcast of the Clans. A search that may lead to more answers about Earth than Kutch ever expected. Corporate Galactic Board is forced to deal with an embarrassing breach of security involving Earth. An unfulfilled contract for Earth resources is put in the center of a battle for control between the Corporate Executives, Corporate Security and a Councilor of Duissis, leaving the inhabitants of Earth in danger. The Clans of Earth find out their lives are in peril, just as their prophecies had foretold. But the prophecies left out one detail--evil doesn't die--he just assumes another body.
