Merchants of Knowledge and Magic

Calinthe is an asexual dragonfly-person who was sent on a mission to find two missing men.

She learns one of the men is from a species thought to be extinct, who had the misfortune of being captured in a matriarchal society where all non-women are enslaved.

Though she maintains a disguise with help from her companion’s illusions, Calinthe is actually intersex.

If her secret were to be discovered by the matriarchy, she would be enslaved as well.
