Long ago, a spaceship crashed on the planet Orelia after a fierce battle above the planet surface. The natives of Orelia, who knew nothing of outer space or galactic war, believed the crashed titan to be their deity, Gottheit.
Each year, the natives send their youth to the slopes of Gottheit to retrieve sacred Karnai mushrooms. Those who return with the Karnai are welcome into the clan as adults. For Vasherie, daughter of a high shaman, this ceremonial rite of passage is especially important. Everything has to happen according to plan. But the crashed ship, long dormant, is about to awaken. She will face dangerous questions and enemies. Vasherie can lead her people to greatness, but one wrong step could mean the end of her entire civilization.
