Review Summary
Kira Farseaker is in a race to save an alien species, the Shifters, from a government sanctioned extermination. When she discovers that the Shifters are evolving, Kira knows she can finally save some of them from extinction by giving them a new home on the secret planet of Kierna'Rhoan. Officer David Cario enters Kira's world in the hopes of discovering proof of illegal activity by her ex-husband, the commander of a Shifter Extermination squadron. But David finds more than he bargains for, discoveries that turn his world and his beliefs upside down. Despite a love that defies their duties and endangers both their lives, Kira and David discover that to succeed, the hardest thing they will have to do is learn to trust each other.
