Michael is unwittingly selected to represent the people of Earth, as part of a test which will determine the fate of our world.

Murdered at 24, the depressed loner is reborn as Rihelah, a newly-hatched female mantis upon a strange world. Trees tower above her like skyscrapers, dragons reign as gods, and damn-near everything wants to eat her!

NOTE: This is NOT a "Gender-Bend" story which will focus on gender identities and roles/etc. It's a one-off occurence, and will only be minimally referenced after the first few chapters.
