Warpaint: a Cadence Drake Novel Holly Lisle

Publisher Marketing: No place to run, no place to hide... The job sounded simple enough; locate a space miner's missing wives. "Quick. Easy. Painless." As a professional finder of lost things, Cadence Drake has learned in the hardest way imaginable that there's no such thing as a quick or easy job. For the past year, pain has been her constant companion, and death her only refuge. When she falls into the middle of a horror that portends the end of trillions of human lives, and everything that human beings have created throughout settled space, she seeks the last people who know that she's still alive, looking for a way to fight the unthinkable evil she's discovered. Now she and four special ex-slaves face off against the end of all worlds, giving themselves to the thing they most fear in order to save what they most love. They're outnumbered billions-to-five, and they might already be too late. "Darkout is coming." "And Cady's coming with it...." About this Book "WARPAINT" is Holly Lisle's 33rd novel.
