Her journey begins when she meets Ruthye Marye Knoll, a young alien girl determined to avenge her father's death at the hands of Krem of the Yellow Hills.
Supergirl will assist Ruthye on a perilous interstellar journey, not only in her quest for justice but also to help Kara confront her own childhood trauma.
