As Dean of Security, Shaan believes she's walking the True Path ... but is she? She feels unworthy of the prophecy that saved her from the cryogenic Blessing she now imparts on others.

When Shaan is offered the opportunity to beta test the new Transparency of Thought biotech upgrade, she eagerly accepts. Then, while freezing Impures, she comes mind-to-mind with a young autistic boy whose telepathic abilities push her to put everything on the line—her family, her faith, and her life—to track down the Truth.
