Awakening aboard a ship far from home, Akari Tatsuro finds himself missing his memories and surrounded by unfamiliar people. He must decide whether to trust them before they discover his secret: he is a telepath in an era when male telepaths are rare and considered a menace to the galaxy. Does Akari's forbidden ability hold the key to the lost power of an ancient relic? Guided by unexpected allies, he races against time to control his talents and uncover his past. Can he harness his powers for good, or will he become the menace the galaxy fears-a worldburner threatening to unleash chaos? J. Warren lives and teaches in Wyoming.
