A girl named XV3161 had a childhood. She had some friends. She lived on Earth. Her life was taken away when her memory was erased and she was sent to Titan...to die. However, she discovered new life on the small Saturnian planet. Harriet as she was now self-named, formed new friends with some remnant humans, the Xojans of Titan and some highly intelligent cephalopods who saved their lives when our Sun exploded. This ragtag group of survivors fled ahead of the nova that ended the Solar system, barely making it to the nearby star, Tau Ceti. They now look for the first time forward not as survivors struggling to hang onto life but as a new society ready to explore and learn more of the universe. Now, these Solarese as they are now called face their greatest challenges yet when they must confront the infamous starborn. And find help from a new friend named Perta.
