When Carialle's body fails, she becomes a "shellperson" - a human mind in a spaceship. With her partner Keffas as pilot, she explores the galaxy, seeking intelligent life. Their quest seems fruitless until they discover Ozran, a seemingly idyllic world. But Carialle and Keffas soon uncover a dark truth: the "aliens" are actually enslaved humans, ruled by a race of powerful sorcerers. Now Carialle and Keffas must use their wits and abilities to liberate the Ozrans and expose the sorcerers' sinister plans.
