Kari, a young woman, returns to
the jungle planet of Dora after ten years in Earth’s schools
determined to unravel the mysteries surrounding the harpies,
a feral species with the appearance half-bird, half-human.
The human colonists believe harpies are dangerous animals,
which are known to steal women. The creatures are hunted
like wild game, their wings considered rare trophies. But
Kari distrusts these rumors. When she was attacked by a
monster in the jungle as a child, a male harpy with rare
golden coloring rescued her.
Constant hunting by men has driven the harpies to the brink
of extinction. Is Kari’s savior, the elegant golden harpy,
is still alive? If so, how long can he and his flock survive
the ravages of mankind?
