Fourteen-year-old Katerina finds herself homeless and scrounging from dumpsters to survive. She makes her home with a clowder of felines. One day she is carried away to a cluster of islands by a strange creature, and learns she is to be the leader of an intellectually advanced race of human aliens, of which she is one. She is educated by her older cousin about her race and the role she must assume. Princess Katerina was raised by humans (othmans) until she was old enough to assume leadership. Her race uses most of the brain, as opposed to the ten percent that othmans use. In doing so, her people can do amazing things thought to be impossible by mere othmans. Katerina's new home is inhabited by many creatures. Some seem to come straight from the native humans' story books of myth and legend. Others she has never heard of before. Then Katerina learns of an evil othman who is the bastard son of a deceased ruler. Richard mistakenly believes he is a member of her race and demands to be educated in their ways. He will stop at nothing in his quest! Discover what happens next in the thrilling sci-fi fantasy Katerina: Educating a Ruler.
