The fate of two planets depends on Arax. His species can project their minds into hosts on distant worlds, and Arax has seen unique places and witnessed fascinating events. But all that changes when a far-reaching conspiracy and brewing revolution on his world threatens not only the life of Taia, his host, but also the society on her planet. Arax’s connection with Taia is stronger than anything he has ever experienced, and he’ll do whatever he can to ensure the safety of her and her world, even though he is up against impossible odds.
