Endless Sky Books, 2025

A thrilling far-future science fiction adventure of communication and learned trust between human and alien As a young child, the human empath Kathryn's world was ripped apart when the alien, bat-like S'sinn slaughtered her parents before her very eyes. Only the Translators, the elite guild of empaths who maintain the fragile peace of the seven-race Commonwealth, were able to free her from the trauma and give her a new life. As a young S'sinn, Jarrikk saw his flight mates slaughtered by the humans who sought to colonize his world. Crippled so that he could never fly again, he sought death, as honour demanded, but when the Guild of Translators recognized his empathic ability, that choice was forbidden him. Instead, he, too, was trained to be a Translator. When humans and S'sinn find themselves poised on the brink of a war that could devour not only their own species but all the races of the Commonwealth, these two shattered survivors from opposite sides of the last war, in a desperate attempt to salvage peace, forge an unbreakable bond—and unlock a power that could save or doom them all. As shadowy traitors create chaos, Jarrikk and Kathryn unleash their newfound abilities in a desperate attempt to avert apocalypse—and come face to face with the deadly consequences of the power they now wield.
