New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep continues her Galactic Bonds science-fiction fantasy series with a rollicking new adventure that blends science fiction and fantasy with a dash of historical romance.

A WOMAN WHO CAN'T SEE HER ENEMIES' PLANS . . .

My name is Vesper Quill, and I'm good at figuring things out. Over the years, I've used my skills as an inventor and an engineer, along with my seer magic, to solve one hard problem after another.

My current mission? Discover where the members of the Techwave terrorist organization are hiding and what deadly weapons they plan to unleash on the Archipelago Galaxy.

With the help of Kyrion Caldaren, my truebond partner, I follow a series of clues to a distant planet. But the Techwave's plot is much bigger and far more horrific than I ever imagined, and even the enormous power of our truebond might not be enough to help Kyrion and me save the galaxy.

A MAN WHO IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME . . .

My name is Kyrion Caldaren, and I excel at killing my enemies. As an Arrow, I spent years honing and using my telekinesis, telepathy, telempathy, and other psionic abilities to defend the people of the Imperium.

My current mission? Protecting Vesper from Callus Holloway, the greedy siphon who wants to tap into the power of our truebond connection. Too bad I have no idea how to kill Holloway or stop him from taking our magic.

When Holloway and our other enemies put us in a desperate situation with only bad options, I vow in the coldest depths of my heart to give Vesper the bright destiny she deserves—even if I have to sacrifice myself.
