haikujaguar - a lovely story of an alien world that I recommend to more mature readers. It's an alien philosophy that gives us an outside perspective on the roles to which we've become accustomed.
It's set in a desert sort of setting, with Jokka dwelling in scattered villages, connected by traveling caravans. I can't help but think it would be fun to make a computer RPG set there - not a typical 'defend the land from the evil overlord' sort of game, but trading, building up one's House into a success story.
Anyway! If you're interested, you can buy it from the link here.

It's an alien philosophy that gives us an outside perspective on the roles to which we've become accustomed.Born to a harsh world, we Jokka have evolved three sexes to survive: neuter, male and female. Twice in our lives we may change from one to another, a change we accept with grace... or resignation. It was our way.
...until one female defied all tradition: Dlane Ashoi-anadi, revolutionary, intentionally childless, runaway.
