A skilled soldier and a natural leader, Merys knows her way around a post-cataclysm planet where the sun's rays create madness and mutation, a world where tears are "unnecessary water loss," a world where no one can live above ground but the stinking flesh-eating humanoid Fergauns--and the mysterious Nomads.  Merys is a survivor--with a secret.With a few masterful strokes, Kavanagh conveys a whole futuristic world and furnishes it with excitement, horror, suspense, surprises--and a heroine that will stay with you.
