In national bestselling author Sharon Shinn's latest Shifting Circle
novel, a woman must choose between hiding her nature--and risking her
heart....
For Karadel, being a shape-shifter has always been a reality she
couldn't escape. Even though she's built a safe life as a rural
veterinarian, with a close-knit network of shifter and human friends who
would do anything for her--and for each other--she can't help but wish
for a chance at being normal. When she's not dealing with her shifts or
caring for her animal patients, she attempts to develop a drug that will
help shifters control their changes--a drug that might even allow them
to remain human forever. But her comfortable life is threatened by two
events: She meets an ordinary man who touches her heart, and her best
friend is forced to shift publicly with deadly consequences. Now Karadel
must decide whom to trust: her old friends or her new love.
