Some unknown force was drawing Lian Webster closer to the puzzling archaeological expedition on Balthor. Although there only as a visitor, she knew that something strange was happening on the site that only she could sense - something that involved the lumpies. Gray, smiling creatures, strangely innocent yet knowing, the lumpies' secret was hidden behind their expressionless eyes. And when Lian discovered that secret, she had to decide what to reveal and what to protect, and in choosing to protect the lumpies, Lian found she had chosen for herself as well.
