Princess Rie has been warned: California, the alien land through the Interdimensional Portal, has a safety ranking of "likely lethal." But when it becomes clear that in order to rule the Second Throne of the Three Thrones of Staraya she must make a quest to this dangerous realm, the princess is not going to let anything stand in her way. Accompanied by two fluffy flatfaced cat companions, Chip and Chego, and as well as babycat Starman, a mysterious protective gift by the otherworldly guardian of the Interdimension, Rie ventures into the land of superhighways, comic book characters, university professors, cozy but confusing coffee shops, and fantastic theme parks, racing against time to find the elusive Wise One and discovering along the way that California is a stranger and more wondrous place than she had ever imagined.
