This is the seventh installment of the Imitai series following The Next Empress. Before she could call it a safe landing, Nerida Stanwell's spaceship is downed somehow. Since the universe is unaware she is Imitai, Nerida is forced to act as though she is stranded away on the oceanic planet Catalon and pretend to be awaiting rescue in order to appear ordinary. Estella Dieguez joins her as Innaquita but does not alert the Catalonian government where she is due to their fears of the local marauders- indigenous pirates who prey on and kidnap foreign entities for ransom. Both girls wind up befriending a land village and establish base there, taking on any marauder who dares to harm them.
