Tava Ell Var never felt welcome with the Mornai people. Her mother was raped by a Shifterai man and her father adopted her at birth. The town reviled her for her different and sometimes strange behaviors. When her father is killed by a group of bandits, she follows them and gets revenge. However, she has unexpected help from a band of Shifterai also hunting the same bandits. When the band of Shifterai follow her home, they come upon a nightmare scene where the leaders of the Mornai people are subjugating her and stealing her livelihood. She reluctantly agrees to leave with them and thus begins her new and improved life with "her" people.

I liked the courting by Kodan Sin Siin. The rules of his people are very strict and offer little in the way of romance...at first. Of course there is a female of his clan who causes trouble and it's really cool who Tava circumvents her. A totally enjoyable story that references a few things from the Sons of Destiny series but definitely a stand-a-lone book. I must admit to hating the cover of this book which has absolutely nothing to do with the female lead. They do not dress slutty at all and are covered basically from head to toe. I guess this is in response to the blatantly nekkid males that grace the covers of most paranormal romance novels.
