From the glacier-shrouded Hellers Mountains to the arid Dry Towns, the ancient realms of the Ages of Chaos, and the star-faring Terran Federation, Darkover is brimming with adventure, intrigue, and romance. Editor Deborah J Ross proudly presents this all-original collection in the finest spirit of Darkovan tales for your reading delight.

Allen and Elaine are graduate students in Nebraska, and love each other very much. Their life should be idyllic, but Elaine's past includes rape, neglect, and abuse from those who should've loved her--but didn't, because from childhood, Elaine identified as transgender.
When Elaine tells Allen right before Christmas, he doesn't know what to do. He loves Elaine, loves her soul, has heard about transgender people before, but didn't think Elaine was one of them--she looks and acts like anyone else. Now, she wants to become a man and is going to leave.
He prays for divine intervention, and says he'll do anything, just please don't separate him from Elaine...and gets it.
Now, he's in Elaine's body. And she's in his. They'll get a second chance at love.
Why? Because once you find your soulmate, the universe will do almost anything to keep you together--even change your faces.
