Acorna is a little girl with a tiny horn in the center of her forehead, funny-looking feet, beautiful silver hair, and special powers: purifying air and water, making plants grow, and healing scars and broken bones. Three grizzled prospectors found her in an escape pod amid asteroids, adopted her, and took her to the bandit planet Kezdet, where no one asks questions and the girl could grow up free.
But Kezdet has a dark secret: its prosperity is based on a child slave trade administered by "The Piper," a mystery man with plans for Acorna and her powers. But free little girls grow up to be freedom-loving young women, and Acorna has plans of her own as well.
