Many Drops Make a Stream - Nina Waters

A memory-stealing cult.
The ever-watchful City of Eyes.
Making small talk.
Join Droplet as she faces all these horrors and more...

Vigilante shapeshifter Droplet has trained her entire life to take down those with more power than scruples, but she still makes mistakes. When a rescue mission goes wrong, a memory-stealing cult of blood mages escapes with kidnapped captives in tow. To save them, Droplet reluctantly teams up with the outgoing, tenacious Azera. Droplet knows better than to trust a human-she made that mistake once, and that person's betrayal scattered her community across the known world-and she can tell Azera is hiding secrets behind her sunny smile. But if they can't learn to work together, even Droplet's own memories could be lost.
