JOURNEY ELIZABETH GORDON finally meets her relatives - those on her mother's side. But they are anything but ...


With another school term comes another trial - Skopocit. Takoda and Journey must travel to another solar system and visit the planet of their choice. And Journey knows exactly which one - the one that is close to the Tarkadians - the evil race that just attacked and destroyed her school.


The closest planet is Indria. A world where the people glow and are hatched, not born. A world that is dark and bleak and without an atmosphere. And a world that has many answers to her many questions.


Journey now must accept the truth about her family's past. The family on her mother's side. But then, when she finally meets her father's parents, a new question is formed. How can they know so much about the planets Traveler and Journey that is in the Fornax galaxies?
