The first book in the Web Shifter's Library series returns to the
adventures of Esen, a shapeshifting alien and member of an ancient yet
endangered race, who must navigate the perils of a hostile universe.
Esen's back! And the dear little blob is in trouble, again.
Things began so well. She and her Human friend Paul Ragem are ready to
celebrate the first anniversary of their greatest accomplishment, the
All Species' Library of Linguistics and Culture, by welcoming his
family back. He hopes. Having mourned his supposed death years ago,
understandably, feelings are bent.
Instead, they've unexpected guests, starting with an old acquaintance.
Paul's father has gone missing under dire circumstances.
Before he can convince Esen to help him search, a friend shows up to use
the Library. A crisis on Dokeci Na is about to explode into violence. To
stop it, Evan Gooseberry needs answers. Unfortunately, the artifact he
brought in trade holds its own distracting secret. A touch of very
familiar blue. Web-flesh.
The race is on. Paul, to find his father. Esen, to search for a
mysterious legacy while helping Evan avert an extinction. What none of
them realize is the price of success will be the most terrible choice of
all.
