Description

The empath Thane and his adopted telepathic daughter Ilaria are summoned to the Wald to investigate a dead body washed onto the shores of the densely forested planet; however, once it is discovered the deceased had been a renegade psychic, the body is destroyed before they can determine who she was or, more importantly, what she was doing on a forbidden planet. As psions are hated and mistrusted by the Citizens of the Janus Empire, there are few who care that the evidence showed the woman had been murdered.

Their investigation is seemingly at a dead end until dozens more bodies are discovered-all of them psychics and all of them killed by having their psychic cells removed.

Determined to discover who is murdering their kind and why, Thane and Ilaria's investigation is complicated even further when the ambassadors of a neighboring empire turn up dead and their own Emperor is nearly assassinated.
