Synopsis
Thirteen-year-old Min belongs to a family of fox spirits who must hide their magic and pass as human on Jinju, a dusty, poor planet she is tired of. She dreams of joining the Space Forces. When her brother Jun, an officer, is accused of deserting his battle cruiser to hunt for the legendary Dragon Pearl, Min runs away to clear his name. Posing as a male cadet aboard his ship, she befriends two supernatural cadets, a dragon and a goblin, and the ship heads for the lawless Ghost Sector. Along the way she meets gamblers, pirates and vengeful ghosts, and has to use more of her fox magic than ever before.
