I am reviewing the story for which I bought this anthology. I am a Slade fan girl, and so glad I read her addition to this book.Set on a small, oceanic planet with a feisty, intelligent queen who is genetically adapted not only to her watery kingdom but in some lethal ways, the story is detailed and imaginative. The hero, a courtesan who will never fulfill the destiny for which he had been trained since birth, to be the lover of some wealthy man or woman, is the last of his kind. He has channeled his grief and rage over the destruction of his own world into fashioning himself into a vengeful assassin.He can be diverted only by one small woman. Let the fun begin! Full of passion, angst and some very unique sea creatures.
