Ace Books, 1999
ISBN: 0-441-00619-1 (paperback)
On the planet of Irustan, one woman is fighting back... Zahra Ibsada is a talented medicant, and
sees much of the joy in the lives of the women she heals - and much of the pain. She sees a wife
brutally beaten, a prostitute suffering at the hands of her employers, and her best friend Kalen, a
mother who is struggling to save her daughter from a cruel betrothal. Kalen begs Zahra for help, and
although it goes against her medicant vows, Zahra reluctantly agrees. But this silent act of terrorism
will have far-reaching consequences - for herself, and for all the women of her planet...
