When the salvage ship finally returns to Federation space, Acorna becomes the center of attention. But with none of her kind around, and no way to know if any even still exist, Acorna struggles to find her own identity. During their months aboard ship, they bond with the lovable kid and she slowly learns their language and culture. The men, obviously with nowhere to take the orphan, are forced to raise the strange girl themselves. The Linyaari were a race of humanoids with unicorn characteristics - a flowing, curling mane and feathery hair from ankle to knee, hooves, three fingers and, of course, a horn protruding from their foreheads. The men had never seen anything quite like Acorna before. She escapes in a space pod and is found by a salvage ship crewed by three humans. In the first book in the series, Acorna, we’re introduced to the lovable orphan after her family’s spaceship is mysteriously destroyed. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the series, here’s a quick overview. As Acorna unravels the mystery with the help of the royal temple cat Roadkill and Mac the android, she finds out Aari isn’t lost in space, but in time. The mysterious history of the uni-horned Linyaari people is steeped in fable, and when Acorna discovers the mythical city of Kubiilikaan, the legendary home of the Hosts, much of what she thought was historically true becomes suspect. While trying to escape these hairy, spear-toting beasts, Acorna is forced deep into a cave and stumbles across the opening into an ancient subterranean city. “The whole planet was, for the most part, stifling, with much of its protective ozone layer punctured by volcanic explosions and toxic chemical reactions from its unstable land masses and destroyed seas.” Instead of green meadows filled with beautiful flora and fauna, there are now carnivorous plants, poisonous geysers, bogs and apelike monsters. The once cool, idyllic world of Vhiliinyar is now like something out of a nightmare.

After consulting with the Ancestors, Acorna concludes that she must go deep underneath the planet’s surface to solve the potentially horrific mystery.

Among the missing is Acorna’s life mate, Aari. Soon whole shuttles are just vanishing into thin air. As Acorna and her Linyaari people begin to rebuild their home planet (which was practically destroyed by the evil insectoid Khleevi in Acorna’s World), members of Linyaarian research parties begin to disappear one by one.
