"Intelligent, elegant, heartless -- Divine Endurance is just as her makers meant her to be. But a cat -- a creature that owns no loyalty to anyone, and never forgets an injury -- makes a dangerous toy...
"Chosen among the beautiful. Cho is innocent and gentle: to see her is to love her. But with Divine Endurance at her side, she becomes the deadliest danger of all.
"Together they set out in search of Cho's lost brother. But the world has changed. The race that made them survives but is divided: there are the Rulers, with their ancient technology; and the Peninsulans, with their doubtful magic, locked in bitter combat. Cho can put an end to their problems. Cho, the angel doll, can grant every wish of the human heart. But when the last wish is granted, then what remains?" [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1993]
