The Borrai were a new form of life, possessed of an ancient intelligence and the power to affect the earth. They protected life on the planet of Garran ... until the aliens came and killed the gods.
Now the natives of Garran must submit to rule by an advanced alien race--the Chanden--unless the Garrans can find an ancient god-stone and revive the old Borrai. For this, they must travel to one of the ruined cities of the Borrai. A small group of natives volunteer to go. Among them is a Chanden spy, a girl named Asta, who wants to claim the god-stone before the natives can get to it--stopping their rebellion.
