A childhood illness has left Kira infertile, and she is afraid to tell Aehako, terrified that her inability to have children will prevent them from being true mates. A symbiotic implant called the khui senses when an alien and human are the best match for producing children, an urgent need since the sa-khui have less than 40 remaining members. Kira was an orphan on Earth, and she fears she will never have a family on her new planet. She captures the attention of Aehako, a charming and charismatic alien who calls her Sad Eyes. Kira, who was always shy and timid on Earth, now has a demanding new role as translator. After being abandoned on an ice planet by their original kidnappers, Kira and the other human women are rescued by aliens from the sa-khui tribe. When taken from Earth by aliens, Kira was singled out in a particularly painful manner-a translating device was forcibly implanted into her brain through her ear. A hybrid community of aliens and humans faces growing pains and outside threats.
