After awakening, 16-year-old Rose learns that her parents have died, the man she loved has disappeared without a trace, and she herself is the heir to a huge empire. Rose is desperately trying to come to terms with her losses and start a new life in an incomprehensible world of the distant future. But the world is not ready to accept a girl who is too strange and completely unadapted to it.
