Where the Ni-Lach

On the lush green planet men had named Ver-draak, a green-haired, crystal-eyed race once lived. But the Ni-lach were no more, killed off by humans who feared their strange powers. Yet legends of a great Ni-lach treasure lived on. Eventually, men's search for Ni-lach gold led them to a great forest called the Deep—and to an orphan named Dhalvad, a carefree young man who played with alien fur children and..cured the sick without medicine. Soon Dhalvad and his friends—human, alien and otherwise—are running for their lives before relentless pursuers who do not know the true value of the wealth they seek.
