In this addition to the Isis series from Phoenix Award-winning author Monica Hughes, settlers from Earth are finally coming to join Olwen on her planet, but will they accept her after discovering what she’s become?

She was once human like them, but the harsh climate of the alien planet has changed her, transforming her into something else that the settler could never be prepared for….
