In a world where lizard-like creatures hunt for human flesh, Cora hast found refuge in the wilderness, where she mourns her lost son, hunts for food and occasionally has to fight an intruding lizard-man. But one day, a couple intrudes into her territory, and Coras quiet days are over. Not only is Darren a violent man, but he seems on the verge of changing into something even more dangerous. Will Cora be able to defend her place against the human threat? This was a short (though IMHO it could have been even more concentrated) and very action-packed story. While it did not exactly reinvent the wheel, it was an entertaining read to enjoy in-between.
