What is it like to wake up one day in an unfamiliar place and realize you don’t remember your own name, who you are, or where you come from? And the first creature that looks very vaguely human tells you that you’re a slave and an “orange color of the rainbow,” because you have red hair. And maybe you’re even a clone!
That’s what happened to Elishshe. This name was given to her by the non-human beings around her. Her attempts to remember anything about herself are fruitless, so the girl has to come to terms with the situation and lie low, hoping that her memory will return later and everything will be fine. Taking advantage of a chance that presents itself, she runs away from the slave trader together with another slave. The escape isn’t easy, but better this than waiting meekly for your fate to be decided for you. Elishshe is picked up by scientists passing by on their way to a distant scientific expedition. And in a new environment, in a new role, she has to restore her identity, remember everything, and find happiness—seemingly impossible. After all, she is human, while around her are representatives of only other races.
