Khorii, the rebellious daughter of the near-mythic Acorna and her lifemate, Aari, has followed in Acorna's footsteps leading their people from danger, but the pressure to succeed and fulfill a legacy is tremendous. For the deadly foe that has ravaged the known worlds and weakened even her famous parents has launched its final assault, and only Khorii and her newly discovered sister, Ariin, are able to stop the brutal attack. But success is elusive, and fragile, and even time itself may not be enough to help their desperate quest to save their family...much less the universe.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough are two of science fiction’s most popular authors. Together they created the world of Acorna, the unicorn girl. Now Acorna’s children are having their own adventures.
THIRD WATCH
Khorii, the rebellious daughter of the near-mythic Acorna, has followed in her mother’s footsteps leading their people from danger, but now she and her newly discovered twin sister Ariin face their most dangerous adventure yet.
The deadly plague that ravaged the known worlds and weakened even her famous parents has launched its final assault, and only Khorii and Ariin have any hope of stopping it. They must travel through time itself to find the origins of the plague and to find a way to eradicate it before it mutates into an even deadlier phase, one which could threaten the entire universe.
Praise for Acorna’s Children: First Warning
‘Khorii is definitely a chip off the old horn. Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough are experts at being able to draw their readers into quite a complex and already well-established world’
