***************************************************************************************************
Of all the Rowan's children, Damia is the most brilliant, the most difficult, the loneliest, and the one who has inherited the greatest Talent. It is obvious from childhood that she is going to be a Prime, with all the honours, burdens and strains of that elite class. Her one friend is Afra -- older, wiser, Talented in his own way, but 'belonging' almost exclusively to the Rowan and the workings of Callisto Station.
As Damia grows up, her Talent becomes almost too strong to control, and the solution is separation -- from her parents, from Callisto, from her beloved Afra.
Sent to the distant planet of Deneb, to her strange and gifted grandmother, Damia begins the training necessary to turn her into a Prime of extraordinary gifts -- a Prime who can contact the minds of approaching aliens through space, some of whom threatening to totally destroy the worlds of the Nine Star League.
