Emmy looks strange, labelled a Moon Rogue, a demon. Her days as an apothecary’s assistant to Madame Krodge are filled with hard work and abuse. Left on Krodge’s doorstep as a youngling, she knows nothing about where she came from. All her life she''''s wondered, who am I? Only friend Zecha is a male who wants to do what females do, and no one will accept him. Charo, a former slave, was discarded by her owner and left to die. No one under the Arc of the Sky wants them. All they have is each other.
