When James got stuck with dockyard duty while his older brother and sister went planetside, he never thought it could be the last time he’d see them. But shortly after they leave, a Hameji battle fleet invades the star system, turning it into a deadly war zone.

As James flees with his father on the family starship, he can only look on as the Hameji reduce the planet to molten slag. But his sister isn’t dead. When James learns that she’s been captured and enslaved, he vows to save her, no matter the cost.

James isn’t a warrior. He’s never killed a man before, and doesn’t know if he could. But if that’s what it takes to save his sister, he’ll become whatever he needs to be—even if there’s no going back.

Carmen Grey always knew she was different.

None of the other children seemed able to read minds. None of the other children were able to manipulate their toys without touching them. On the morning of her sixth birthday, three men dressed in black arrive to remove her from the loving care of her parents.

She is taken to an underground facility meant for others like her, for Clairvoyants. Stripped of her name and identity, over the years she is fashioned into something scary—something lethal. Each day is an endless struggle and every night is plagued by nightmares. Yet Carmen’s ultimate battle won’t be to save her life but to keep her soul.
