Description
Olwen Pendennis was born on Isis, a planet she had never known. On her tenth birthday, she would celebrate her sixteenth on Earth, a day that marked the arrival of settlers from the human world. Since her parents' death, Olwen had lived alone on Isis, tending to the light-a "light-house" in space designed to aid ships and bring settlers. The harsh climate of the alien planet had changed Olwen, transforming her into something other than human. Now, as she prepared for the arrival of the settlers, she wondered if they would be ready for her. The settlers were coming at last, but would they accept her after discovering what she had become?
