A Classic Planetary Exploration Novel of Desert Ruins, Alien Artifacts, and Lost Civilizations

In the dangerous Burrows of the desert planet Korp, young orphan Simsa survives as a street urchin and artifact scavenger, unearthing relics left behind by the ancient, vanished Forerunner race. Possessing distinctive blue-black skin and silver hair, Simsa has always been an outsider among Korp's human colonists.

When off-world scholar Thom seeks her aid to locate a legendary Forerunner city hidden deep in the planetary waste, Simsa leads an expedition into treacherous desert ruins. Deep within the ancient complex, Simsa uncovers telepathic Forerunner technology that reveals her true galactic heritage.
