Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown...

Jee thinks she's a normal 1950’s teenager until her strange uncle proves that she's not even human. At the age of seventeen, he takes her to Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, the world of her birth. There, Jee is welcomed as the “Glasśigh”—a princess-like figure, the first and only direct descendant of her nation's two founding families.

She plunges into a life of world-wide celebrity, excessive privilege, complete adoration, and unlimited wealth. In this alien but stunningly beautiful world, her every whim is gratified with dizzying speed. What more could anyone want?

But affluence and entitlement can't silence the tiny voice of doubt growing in Jee's heart. The wealth that makes her new life so splendid has been torn from the downtrodden castes beneath her. From her comfortable seat atop the social pyramid, Jee becomes aware of the people being crushed beneath the weight of appalling injustice, discrimination, and oppression.

Now, she must make a choice: accept the costs of her pampered birthright, or risk her life by using her position to ignite a revolution aimed at destroying a powerful thousand-year regime of cruelty and despair.
