Changing Fate

DAW Books, 1994
ISBN:0-88677-608-2 (paperback)
Lady Acila has been running her father's keep for as long as she can remember. Her father has
always been away at war and her twin brother Briam is a daydreamer, a man obsessed with music
and in no way suited to the practical job of managing the keep. But Acila doesn't mind - in fact
she is desperate to remain in the secluded safety of her home, for she harbors a dark secret. Acila
is a shapechanger - a being feared and despised by the people of her world.
But when the keep is besieged by the army of a Lord who brings her proof of her father's death,
Acila and Briam cannot defend their lands and must flee for their lives. Little does Acila realize as
she leaves the only safe haven she has ever known, that she has begun a journey which will bring
her to a greater understanding of her kind, and change her fate in ways she cannot begin to
imagine.
