Out of Phase - Lisa Huff - Bog

Thirteen year old Rihnlin never thought she was different, until she met a band of orphans on the Overmont Tech Outpost planet of Atofin. Wanting to make friends, she joins up with them to scavenge in the old city ruins. Deep within the city, Rihnlin stumbles upon a dark secret - a secret that she will run from for many years. Rumors of white-robed visitors and legends of a man-eating panther have kept many planet natives in hiding, but Rihnlin must face both in order to discover the truth and save her loved ones.
