Synopsis

A mercenary outcast with a perversion no one cared to think about.

A holy leader, who knows her people are on the verge of great upheaval—and who wants to know more about this new tribe of demons.

A battle-mother, possibly the greatest battle-mother who ever lived—if the rules of her tribe don't force her into a battle even she can't win.

A keeper of the secrets of history who would control the tides of fate—if only she could.

A paleobiologist with a terrible sense of humor.

They are all revolutionaries, but none of them expected anything like what they're about to experience.

Contains mature themes.

Recommended from a friend who outreads me -- this novel made me an instant fan of Eric Flint. One of my favorite Amazon reviews: A human starship has crash-landed on Ishtar, a planet inhabited by the gukuy, bronze-age land squid. First contact is violent, and the humans (who are the titular demons) soon......more
