One moment Dara was jogging through her comfortable suburban neighborhood; the next she was regaining consciousness... somewhere. The stars were all wrong. She was utterly alone.

In the process she learns much about the world where must spend the rest of her life. On Khyren, a woman's only status lies in her fertility and men must fight to hold on to wealth and power.
