Young Kate Murphy—adopted by a loving Irish couple against the picturesque backdrop of ancient Rome—finds herself tormented by nightmarish visions that defy comprehension. One fateful day, in her mother’s cherished Catholic Church, a compassionate priest lays his hands upon Kate’s brow, invoking a blessing that unleashes a torrent of mystical imagery. The priest is thrown into turmoil as he witnesses chilling visions of an old man hanging upside down on a cross. News of the powerful girl spreads like wildfire, igniting the fears of an extreme sect entrenched in the Vatican.

The Earth is dying. For centuries, the continents have been sinking into the oceans. What is left of them has turned into a burning desert. In the 24th century, the last humans live in tightly-packed domes. Outside, agonizing heat death awaits. But, there is a glimmer of hope: Lumera. The humans have founded a colony in another solar system and made a fragile peace with the Kidj'Dan, an alien race living there. But terraforming, which the telepathic aliens hope will help Earth's inhabitants, takes more time than Earth has.

A desperate distress call from Earth reaches the new colony on Lumera. Now, the fate of all life in the universe as we know it is at stake. An enemy believed dead threatens the peace between humans and Kidj'Dan: Dr. Elias Fox, the unscrupulous politician, has mutated into a walking superweapon thanks to his hyperbots, and has only one goal: revenge.

More and more space arks are landing on Lumera. The humans' new home is breathtakingly beautiful, but dangerous plants and bestial predators punish every careless step. Sophisticated aliens keep themselves hidden, and they may be superior to humans. The human colony is beset by internal conflict. A civil war threatens.
