Also, unbeknownst to the colonists, there is an entire nation of Pangean natives living underneath the peaceful waters of the Great Ocean. The natives' lives revolve around an ancient portal called Xuhgea, which bridges the interstellar gap between Pangea and Earth without warp technology.

Sixteen-year-old Claire Railstone is an Earthling living with the natives, and, thanks to the portal, is forever stuck with people who resent her entire race. However, there is someone out there, who is willing to kidnap, steal, and kill to possess the infinite power of the portal.
