Secrets beget secrets. The curse that befell the Hollows clan has
left them incapable of producing male offspring. To extend their
bloodline, they have formed a covenant with the serpentine Ophidians,
who give them children. In return, the Hollows must keep these monstrous
creatures well fed, though the details of the procurement are so
abominable that the truth is never revealed to the other clans. In their
homeland of Matikki, they live like outcasts.
Through a series of chance discoveries, the secrets of the ancient curse unfold before a warrior named Writhren Hollow. Is her purely female clan the result of a lapse of divine providence, or are the Hollows themselves victims of an enslavement scheme?
If Writhren frees her clan from the covenant, she risks the wrath of the Ophidians and the future of her bloodline. If she keeps the truth of the curse to herself, she is a traitor to her own kind. Either way, she will suffer for what she must do.
This is not a story of redemption, but regret. This is Writhren’s story.

This was a completely different type of book for me. It was way out of my normal reading area and there were several times that I wanted to call it stops on it... BUT, I'm glad I didn't. I actually enjoyed this book! Very impressed with this author!
