Lillith, a young Velorian living far
beyond the reach of other humans, is the Protector of the planet
Tetra. This planet, populated solely by small furry spider-like
creatures, is hardly a place for a young Velorian woman to spend
her young life. Yet she is the Protector of this planet, her
mission very clear, her genetically-mandated duty coming before
all other considerations. Yet in such a setting, alone except
for the furry and lovable creatures she protects, she cannot
help but have her own secret thoughts, fantasies of another place,
dreams perhaps of meeting someone of her own race, of enjoying
the company of someone even remotely human. Dreams of loving,
and being loved by, her mate.
Easily as beautiful and strong
as her older sister Kara, the SuperFemme of Earth, Lillith is
just past her mid-teens as this book begins. She has been on
Tetra for some time already, and has begun to feel the impatience
and yearnings that women of her age are prone to feel. Especially
as she begins to respond to the feelings for which Velorians
are famous. Or infamous as the case may be. |
