The Wild One

The Atapi, a warrior alien race led by a barbaric sorcerer, have masqueraded as humans for over twenty years. The Kumatan, intend to hunt them all down.

Jai has no love for the Atapi, since they only want her dead. She escapes from them, only to run into their enemy, the Kumatan Slave Master.
At the hidden Kumatan village, despite the prejudice of the Kumatan and the provocation of the captured Atapi slaves, Jai tries to maintain her human bred values. As she learns more about herself and her unknown biological mother, she realises that she has inherited her mother's talent for sorcery.
Before she can even imagine what that means and with only the barest understanding of her own potential, Jai must use her human guile and stubbornness to prevail against the Sorcerer, and the Kumatan who want to neutralise her power.

Only when all the Atapi are dead or captured, does she realise that the Kumatan intend to take her to their home world of Korvu.
