Few people know the name Vesper Quill. To most folks, I’m just a lowly lab rat who designs brewmakers and other household appliances in the research and development lab at the powerful Kent Corp. But when I point out a design flaw and a safety hazard in the new line of Kent Corp starcruisers, everyone knows who I am—and wants to eliminate me.
I might be a seer with a photographic memory, but I don’t see the trouble headed my way until it’s too late. Suddenly, I’m surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.
I don’t think things can get any worse until I meet Kyrion Coldren, an arrogant Regal lord who insists that we have a connection, one that could be the death of us both.
A MAN WHO CAN’T FORGET HIS PAST . . .
The name Kyrion Coldren strikes fear in the hearts of people across the Archipelago Galaxy. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force, I’m used to being a villain, as well as the personal assassin of Lord Callus Holloway. Even the wealthy Regals who live on the planet of Corion are afraid of me.
But everything changes when I meet Vesper Quill. I might be a powerful psion with telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities, but Vesper sees far too many of my secrets.
Thanks to an arcane, unwanted quirk of psionic magic, the two of us are forced to work together to unravel a dangerous conspiracy and outwit the dangerous enemies who want to bend us to their will.
I'm so picky when it comes to anything sci-fi. I either love it or hate and usually nothing in between. But this book? This book had the perfect mix of sci-fi and fantasy that ended up being so worth the read.
Vesper is a seer who spends most of her time designing appliances. All seems to be another day until she finds a flaw in one of the designs and brings it up. Now everyone is mad at her.
Being targeted for pointing out a flaw rather than praise and fixing the issue. Now isn't that relatable.
Vesper ends up teaming with Kyrion to work to expose what’s going on.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed how it wasn’t so heavy on the sci-fi aspects. It wasn’t so heavy on facts, which usually is enough of a drag to drop the book altogether. The world building is done well, the storyline is consist of and can't wait to continue this series.
