First, I like this series; but I hate that the stories are so short. If you read Viola Grace you will be spending a ton of money for very short stories. Since I'm hooked, I'll finish this series or keep on until I get tired of it.Now, this story is probably my least favorite of the series because the background is so short. Niika is a hunter and plant lover. She takes civilians on tours into the forests of Gaia and teaches them how to survive and live off the land. She is contracted to lead of group of the Nine; Stonefolk and Wilders to a lost city and show them where they can hunt for fresh meat. The Wilderfolk will become ill if they do not get the right protein and the ship cannot produce what they need long term. Cavos a member of the Stonefolk is a historian who wants to see the city where his people lived ages ago.Niika has an injury that limits her ability to move quickly but she has managed to work and be in the forest that she loves. Her adventure with the Stonefolk and Wilder will help her and she just might find her mate in the group.I was disappointed that the plot moved so quickly, the characters are very one dimensional, there is no reason why the like or care for each other. The descriptions are short or not given, you have to rely on your knowledge of this series to know what is happening.
