"Instead of mentors, they got monsters... That's what Xerak, Vereez, and Grunwold think when three strange creatures shimmer into being within the circle of Hettua Shrine. And why shouldn't they? After all, they've never seen humans before. Margaret Blake, Peg Gallegos, and Tessa Brown are equally astonished--but also better prepares. A widely varied course of reading material has intellectually primed them for the idea that other worlds, even worlds where people with traits more common ascribed to "animals," may exist. yet there is one overriding mystery nobody yet can answer: the meaning of the enigmatic verse that Teg speaks as they arrive--words that indicate that the Shrine is responding to a request made of it, a request crucial to the survival of Xerak, Verrez and Gunworld's world."--Back cover.
