About This Book
An early-career veterinarian takes a high-paying residency with a wealthy household responsible for unusual, selectively bred beings called the Lani, and must navigate the household’s internal power struggles and experimental programs. Tensions between family members over authority, inheritance, and control of living creatures create professional and moral dilemmas for the newcomer. The story examines contrasts between physical perfection and perceived lack of humanity, the ethics of breeding and stewardship, and the social pressures faced by someone trying to establish a place within a status-conscious, secretive environment.
