Wingwomen of Hera

A comet falls between two planets ... lashed by its tail, both planets are thrown from their comfortable orbit, reeling crazily. Finally, they slow, stabilise, and settle into new paths of destiny. Maladar, an icebound world in which only the strictest adherance to rules protects its inhabitants from the formidable environment; and Hera, sculpted to a lush beauty from which the sensual and intelligent wingwomen, botanists by instinct live, until ... a baffling, lethal disease brings the unlikely entanglement of these two populations.
