Atapi Sorceress Margaret Gregory

Seventeen-year-old Jai Cassidy is a stranger to Korvu, but she inherited her mother's mission to find a way to revitalize the non-humanoid Atapi tribes. As a Human-Atapi hybrid, and a sorceress, she is vehemently disliked by both the Atapi sorcerers who lead the tribes and the humanoid rulers of Korvu. Regardless of the opposition, Jai is still determined to protect and nurture the Atapi. However, her task is complicated by the treacherous activities of a group of alien engineers, who are inciting insurrection and harsh reprisals. As an outsider, Jai can see the truth of the conflict. Using sorcery and her native human cunning, she must convince the fiercely independent sorcerers to work with their humanoid enemies and the powerful Galactic Enforcers - and then convince Korvu's rulers to stop persecuting the Atapi, and allow them to grow stronger and regain their rightful place as defenders of Korvu. Suspenseful and fast moving, Atapi Sorceress captures the essence of conflicting alien societies and the power of being true to one's nature.
