Zeyan has lived in the shadows, keeping her talent to herself. When she tries to reach out to console a grieving loved one and is summarily arrested by her people she finds life and a new start in the Citadel, as the Soul Keeper.
Zeyan has been banished by her own race and her talents have developed under the careful eye of the instructors at the Citadel. When a psychic plague breaks out that shatters the mind body connection, the locals call the Sector Guard and they, in turn, call the Soul Keeper. It is time for her to return home.
Orenn has envied his cousin Fenn’s life and love in the Sector Guard. As a telepath at the Citadel he recognizes a powerful will when he sees it and when Zeyan looks into his eyes, he also sees his future stretching before him, with her at his side. He had no idea it was going to be the other way around.
Excerpt:
Her companion helped her to the interior of the building and Zeyan was left with the Guardsmen and the two other robed figures.
She didn’t know what to do, but when she felt a touch on her mind, she straightened and slammed it back at its owner. The woman on the end swayed and blinked rapidly. “That was sudden.”
“I am not used to…why are you trying to touch my mind?”
The male with the pointed ears smiled. “We are merely trying to determine the nature of your gifts.”
She crossed her arms and scowled. “Fine, take me to a dead body and I will show you.”
They stopped and she could see a wave of communication through them. The male nodded. “I believe you can wait on a demonstration. How about a tour of the facility and a description of the training you will receive?”
Her head pounded and she looked to the Guardsmen. “Thank you for bringing me here.”
Fury nodded. “It was a pleasure. Call Morganti and ask for us if you need anything. Anything at all.”
Fury and Beast both gave her hugs in turn. Fury whispered, “I know what it is like to be hated by your own kind. I survived it and so will you.”
Zeyan nodded. “I will get past it. It was just a bit of a shock.”
Fury looked her in the eye and grinned. “I think you will. Now, go and enjoy your new home. No one here wants to kill you.”
She chuckled. It was funny. “Thank you. It is the best news I have had all week.”
