Mila has dreamed of becoming a space pilot all her life. Today, she takes her sub-space qualifications, the last step toward her dream.

Then, as her friend drags her from bar to bar to “celebrate,” something goes heinously wrong. It’s cold, she’s falling over drunk, and these men won’t take no for an answer. At least, not until she changes and scares them away. She’s terrified and alone, lost in a body she doesn’t understand, unable to find herself again. But even when she shifts back, she’s still trapped, lost. Shape shifters have no future, especially not in the military.

So she runs.

Only, the streets hold their own dangers. Someone is following her, and even a sound beating doesn’t deter him. What does he want? And how does he keep finding her?

As paranoia and trust issues mix with the grief of lost dreams and separated loved ones, Mila must find her way, find herself, before it’s too late.
