Now, when the subterfuge of strange visitors from afar turns deadly, will the children be able to do the same? When the Draca Cats from Callyn-Rhe appear on the horizon, are they there to join the shifters or fight them to the death?

And, they cannot possibly know that these are not just children. If they did, it is unlikely that they ever would have set foot on the island of Massa. less
