Remnant Population

Mesmerizing new sci-fi from the author of "The Deed of Paksenarrion." Ofelia, the only remaining settler on a planet long since abandoned by its initial human colony, is at first fearful when a new group of settlers arrives. But the appearance of stone-age aliens whom no one knew existed thrusts Ofelia into another role altogether.
