The Rowan was one of the greatest telepaths ever born, treasured by the people she saved from alien invasion--and loved by a young man who never hoped to win her heart. In spite of his feelings, Afra remained loyal to the Rowan. He stayed by her side and helped to raise her Talented daughter, Damia... Now, years later, Damia is a full-grown Talent of great power. Terrible alien voices echo within her mind. And a wondrous new feeling for Afra is growing within her heart. In a universe under siege, only one thing can defeat the power of fear: The power of love.
