The main character of this story is Ise''''lya se Hathor and the plot is told from her point of view. She is an Aelliri, a humanoid species with white, silver or golden hair and some shade of red eye color. The Aelliri can use psionic powers and are quite proficient with it. They live very long lives, as they can''''t die from old age. There is a huge difference between members of this species, as some are born as rulers and others are born as worker drones or soldier drones. A Aelliri ruler class like or MC Ise''''lya se Hathor has very high mental capabilities and strong psionic powers. They also have a good physical development and are the elite of their society. A worker drone has an even more impressive physical development, but very low mental capabilities. Such a drone is much taller and well build then other members of its species with more intelectual classes. All Aelliri have a very strong sense to work for their community and they interact with each other not only through speach, but also psionically. The Aelliri did not evolve naturally, but were artificially created by another highly evolved species as soldiers for war to fight the enemy of their creators. The creators, which are called the Ancient Ones by the Aelliri, are not present in the galaxy anymore. In the great war, called "The Fall of Heaven", the Ancient Ones where nearly driven to extinction by the enemy and the surviving ones fled from the galaxy.
