This novel is a sequel-of-sorts to THE RIGHT HAND OF DEXTRA (1976), in which a group of humans had colonized a world incompatible with earth-like. Their DNA spirals in the opposite direction. But something occurred which makes it possible for the humans to live in harmony with the planet, though it means they have to go through a metamorphosis.
This novel takes place several hundred years after the events in the first novel and humanity has degenerated back to Medieval-era technology after a series of wars between the different colonies. On one hand the people live more in harmony with the planet and also there's less resistance to this change. The main story concerns an adventurer/rebel and the woman he falls in love with, who is promised to the local ruler. It's a sort of swords-and-sorcery tale, akin to anything written by Lin Carter or Philip Jose Farmer.
