Blade Dancer - Dancer, #1

When humans introduce advanced weapons to her enemies, Mikial Haran finds that her first battle will be against those she loves most. Emerging from an ancient civil war with only a patchwork of once-powerful technologies, the Qurls are threatened by new weapons in the hands of old enemies. Driven by the guilt of a comrade's death, Mikial reaches out through her own divided heritage to discover the humans behind the guns.
The one enemy she didn't expect to face was her own people. The one ally she didn't plan on being saved by was human.
