Nisa never asked for this. When the Enforcers killed Kiersten for being a telepath, Nisa was the only Teep close enough to hear her cry for help. Now she must complete Kiersten's mission, gathering and delivering the segmented message that promises to change the world – how, she's not sure, but it can't get any worse, can it?

Everywhere she goes, someone's watching her, touching her mind. She struggles to shut the presence out. With the warlords hunting down telepaths, will Nisa live long enough to complete the message?
