Outside of her irregular eye color, she has never had reason to believe she was anything other than human, even though many of the humans around her would think otherwise. Because of that much of her young life was spent feeling very unwanted. And then she was. Suddenly Aeryn finds herself on the other side of the Wall, inside the city where no human would ever dare venture.
