Marin Wanderhorse, a teen age Arapaho whose parents are renown archaeologists and whose family extends long into history; is taken by an alien boy who is determined to impress his military/warrior father and be ascended, ahead of his 6 brothers to rule. A series of unfortunate events all due to his own hubris creates Trillem/Mellirts demise. Sentenced to reclamation the boy is placed in a capsule and sent into dimensional space until such time that he is ready and able to resume his destined life. Unfortunately his capsule malfunctions causing him to crash land in the Sonora Desert of Arizona on contested Arapaho lands.

The Wanderhorses are the lead archaeologists as determined by the Otkay Pueblo and the University of Arizona, acting as ad litem for the State. Mark and Windsong fall into the cavern created by the capsule when it landed. The capsule's devices began to collect artifacts for the re-education of its inhabitant, as was its design. However entry into Earth's atmosphere caused damage. A small, yet important remnant landed north of the site on the farm of Roy Fein, a once famous physicist who relinquished academia for a more solitary existence hosting a small hippie like retreat on his family farm.

As the Wanderhorse team discovers the skeleton, the shell of Trillem, their claim that the disputed lad was sacred and holding a significant historical find. The initial find peeks the interest of many. The eventual breath of the find causes the government to believe something else is happening in Sonora. At first there was a dress belonging to Joan of Arc, rationalized as part of a Jesuit missionary group, perhaps placed with other pieces of spiritual value. Until items from World War II surfaced.

Mystical things happen heightened by a pure craft of mathematics and science as the Fein farm. At first believed to be the kindness of a benevolent guest it became more apparent that another force was at work. Then Marin and Anya went missing, separately, and the commune is drawn into the search for the girls. Marin returns a few days later with a tale of being in Paris at the height of German occupation feeding Jewish children before they were sent to the camps. Her knowledge of events, specific details, even her ability to speck dialectical Yiddish and French astounded friends and colleagues of the Wanderhorse and Feins. Nearly a decade passes with the caves below Sonora yielding verified artifacts from all over the world. The government claims the capsule and soon the trove in Sonora lightens. Now housed in the Smithsonian and under control of Particia Molinari the need to open the capsule intensifies. Both military and Space are interested in the technology within the ovoid. Particia promised that she could open the egg, serendipity prevails with the help of Marin and a Chines intern the capsule opens and Marin vanishes.

The spirit of Trillem has absconded with her into the the between, entering events in history to obtain the greatest weapon, the A-bomb. Through a series of events Marin is able to hinder Trillem's effort, sending him to space where he is able to resume reclamation until he is thwarted again, but this time well-intended if not premature. Trillem must now live his life as he forced upon others, gaining humility in the process. He becomes part of the scientific team working at Fein farm to return Marin from the in-between
