A girl who longs to be a priestess kills a snow tiger while defending her family against its attack, and is banished for breaking the taboo. Osen, the old African priestess with extraordinary powers, knows that male civilization survived in space. She creates a son, Govind, up above on the space station. His mission: to heal the spacemen and lead them back to warm and protect the Earth. All she needs is a bold, brave young woman to go into orbit to be his mentor.
