Hybrid

A spicy space opera...with dragons.

Trinity has little in her life beyond her fascination with the Confluent language, writing produced by shape-changing aliens colloquially known as dragons. She earns a translation job on the planet of Confluence, but when she arrives, her pursuit of new texts leads her to stumble onto a dangerous secret. Trespassing on dragon territory, Trinity glimpses human-looking spies the dragons have been training in an attempt to infiltrate human society and eventually force the humans off the planet.

Trinity is caught and a dragon accidentally triggers her partial dragon form. Which she has. Because she's not human after all, but something all existing science and history says is a complete impossibility: a human-Confluent hybrid. Never mind who she is, now she hardly knows what she is.

Impossible or not, because Trinity is aware of the spy program, she can't be allowed to leave. She must navigate the dragons' unique culture while adjusting to the instincts of the hybrid form she finds herself stuck in. But even as she plots her escape, Trinity is torn: does she want to turn her back on her dragon side and return to her lonely human life, leaving behind unexpected friendships and romantic connections? Or can she thwart the dragon leader's plans and forge a place for both herself and the spies among dragons who hate everything human—even the spies they trained themselves?
