New York Times bestselling fantasy author Anne McCaffrey
"interweaves an engrossing romance with a coming-of-age
story"(Publishers Weekly) in this novel in the Tower and Hive
series.
Damia is the daughter of Prime Talents The Rowan and Jeff Raven. Her own
telepathic and telekinetic abilities manifested at an early age,
unimaginable powers even greater than her parents', challenging to wield
much less control. As willful as her mother ever was, Damia defies her
family's attempts to tame and train her--only to bond with Afra Lyon, a
Talent who serves The Rowan, and who becomes the object of her
affection.
When she comes of age, Damia learns that a Prime of her capabilities and
temperament has no time for love. Assigned to serve the farthest human
colonized world from Earth, Damia leads a lonely existence until she
telepathically connects with an alien presence in another galaxy--a
potential threat not only to Damia, but to the love Afra wants to share
with her...
