Since Penelope Bailey was a little girl, all humanity has been frightened by her awesome psychic talent, and worried that she can bend events--and men--to her will. Many have called her a monster, but she has chosen a different name for herself: Prophet. Twice, Penelope has managed to escape the "Iceman", a hired assassin, but he's been sent after her again, with higher stakes. This time, the Prophet has hidden herself in plain sight on a planet so obscure most don't know its name, and what's most surprising of all is that she wants to be found.
