Kaatje Heigerman is a pariah amongst her own people, a woman from a community of pacifists, who went to war and then tried to come home again.
When one of the community is killed by something they don’t understand it’s Kaatje the elders turn to for help, charging her with putting a stop to the killing.
But it’s been a long time since she last took up arms in anger, and even with the training and implants she got from the war she soon finds.
