"Welcome home, Linyaari child!"Acorna's quest has paid off. With the help of her "uncles" and the thousands of humans who love and admire her, she has found her true people at last. And they have found her--Khornya, daughter of the illustrious Feriila and the valiant Vaanye, who was given up for lost after the insect-like Khleevidestroyed their home planet.Abandoned in space as a baby, rescued and raised by gruff human asteroid miners, Acorna is at last among her own. The beautiful healing horn in the center of her forehead and the "funny" feet and hands that once set her apart now make her one with the telepathic Linyaari who live on as lush agrarian planet where they pursue their peaceful dreams. Acorna's people welcome her with a lavish costume ball--and an already-chosen mate! But Acorna still has much to do before she can enjoy the peaceful home she is offered. The legendary resting place of the lost Linyaari ancestors has yet to be found. With the help of the rogue spacetrader Becker and his cat, RK (RoadKill), Acorna must strive to right an unspeakable wrong and defeat an enemy even more cruel than the Khleevi themselves. In the search, Acorna and her new friends rescue another survivor, also given up for lost. Most importantly, though, Acorna at last uncovers the Universe's most carefully guarded secret--the true nature of the ancient link between the hoofed, telepathic Linyaariand the space-faring humans she has come to think of as her "people" as well. In all literature, there is no creature more wondrous, no girl more beautiful, no youth more adventurous than Anne McCaffrey's beloved Unicorn Girl. Acorna and Acorna's Quest told of her childhood and early youth. Now award-winning author Elizabeth Ann Scarborough joins Anne McCaffrey to continue the saga of this beloved character in a story that will delight every fan and win new hearts, too. Acorna's People is a story for readers of all ages--especially those who have not yet lost (or who still remember) the magic that lives in the hearts of the young. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

ACORNA'S PEOPLE , 4 ,Acorna the unicorn girl was rescued at a very young age by three space miners who happened to stumble across an odd escape pod carrying the youngster. For all their gruffness and inexperience, the three did a very respectable job of raising the precocious child. Acorna grew up to be a very intelligent, resourceful, and caring young woman. With the ability to heal the hurts of others with her horn, Acorna also became a popular "Goddess-like" figure to many.While saving a planet that was held hostage in the grasp of the Piper, Acorna made herself numerous friends. Children who had been slaves were free to have a decent life, no more working in brothels or mines, no more being ill-used at the hands of cruel adults. Acorna also managed to make herself an enemy, one who returns to the picture in this third book of the series. The daughter of the Piper seeks to eradicate the one who ruined an empire she would have ruled, and take revenge for the death of her father. Kisla is a very unstable personality, capable of great cruelty, and she hungers to make Acorna hurt.Acorna managed to find her true people in the last installment, and the Linyaari are a peace-loving telepathic race. Sadly, when Acorna finally makes her way to them, they aren't exactly welcoming of this strange young woman with her aggressive ways. Danger has dogged Acorna all the way, although she didn't know it, and when her people disappear in a mysterious fashion in space, she decides to find out why.With the help of Becker, a rather ribald trader in space junk, and his special temple cat Road Kill, also known as plain old RK, Acorna is able to locate the lost resting place of her ancestors.
