Her name is Binti, and she is the first Himba person to ever get an offer to enrol at Oomza University, the best university in the galaxy. Accepting the invitation, however, would mean renouncing her position within her family and travelling across the stars with strangers who do not respect her traditions or share her views.
Binti is eager to pay the price of knowledge, but it won't be an easy road. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. The Meduse have been mistreated by Oomza University, and Binti's stellar voyage will put her in their lethal path.
Binti must first make it to the University alive. just then can she expect to endure the consequences of a conflict that was not her own. To achieve this, she will need not just the knowledge of the University but also the gifts from her people.
