Very straightforward story of explorers from Earth who have been on an alien (titular) planet for 600 years. The action here is an invasion from the north, precursor to a long winter, and the described siege reminds me of Legend by David Gemmell.
Unfortunately, there isn't must story to it other than that. The main female character is strong and well written. Her romance with the male protagonist has aspects of Romeo and Juliet. I understand a descendant of her race stars in City of Illusions, and maybe this book in combination with that one would be good.
By itself, though, I just can't recommend it.
