The Gem of the Galaxy series continues, with this story taking place 1000 years after the first.In Child of the Mist, orphaned Juilan Pranss travels off planet for an employment opportunity, but falls into the hands of Joddrie Ferstan, a soldier of fortune with grandiose plans. He takes her to a planet that is being colonized by her known world, where the Ceitwans—the humans of this distant planet—have existed for more than a millennium. They along with the indigenous Xirophans, are resisting the invasion.
Juilan escapes Ferstan, but must quickly come to terms with proof that she is Ceitwan and heir to the mysterious Holder position. She must also prepare to handle the Evincor (Dwinn's "stone" from the first book, Daughter of the Stone); only the Holder can touch it without being killed.
Trenner Curembac aids her in learning about the culture, but she is pursued by the current government—who wants her dead so they can install their own aspirant as Holder, and her brother Mylo—who needs her so he can become Holder through a ceremony that could cause her death.
