Tempest

When a cataclysmic event threatens the primitive planet on which she's stranded, Amilaw thumbs her nose at intergalactic bylaws and intercedes on the behalf of the humanoid agricultural people she has reluctantly come to love. Her plan: Infiltrate the cave-dwelling Keht, an uncivilized clan comprised of quarrelsome Hunters and Miners. A dangerous proposition at best, for should the clan leader Kore discover Amilaw's sneaky alien presence, the ruthless barbarian will slit her shapeshifting throat. The goal: Amilaw needs to seduce the lusty Keht leader into granting her doomed community sanctuary in the mountainous enclave he rules with an iron-fist, a bloodstained sword .
