The Twist Inside — Jacqueline Pearce

The shapeshifting Myar clans have taken Indlay.

Aided and abetted by Indlayan Turnbloods, the

Myar have successfully conquered the entire

country. Watchtowers dominate the landscape,

and intimidated into submission by the threat of

the rapacious, demonic Sand Dervishes, the

Indlayan people are pressed into service on

massive, mysterious construction projects.

Meanwhile, Illeana Grey, having escaped the

occupied city of Revinport, is left friendless and

alone. Her lover Taran, swept away in the

fighting and horrified by the revelation of Illeana's

own ability to take cat form, may be lost to her

forever.

She finds a travelling companion in Tal, a

renegade Myar, shunned by his people for his

inability to shapeshift. But when they encounter a

caravan of Myar on their way home to Sian Myar,

Illeana's fate takes yet another unexpected and

dramatic turn.
