or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit
If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet.
The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not *her*. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in.
