About the novel . . . (Spoiler alert)

Being a partner in genocide is unimaginable for a peaceful, inept shape shifter like Grainne.

But when her husband Slyxx holds her medieval homeland hostage for a seemingly worthless ransom she doesn’t have, the inconceivable happens, and Slyxx orders the destruction of Incorrigible. Despite growing despair, Grainne can’t let go of believing that survivors do exist, and it’s up to her to find them. When she detects an error in translation of a set of mysterious scrolls penned by a missing order of priestesses, she resolves to find the women she believes can lead her to survivors. She uses her wiles to escape captivity and thinks she’s on the right track when she finds an exiled colony of nomads and convinces them to settle in Incorrigible.

What she doesn’t realize is that she already knows the missing priestesses, and some of them are working to stop her from uncovering a secret alliance threatening her world. Even worse, one of Incorrigible’s new citizens wants what’s right under Grainne’s nose. Although quick-witted and more worldly for her travels, Grainne is about to learn just how naïve she really is when Slyxx resurfaces, along with two captives, and she discovers the stars aren’t what she thought they were . . . and neither is she.
