Naria Nightwalk has always felt out of place in the shadowy world to which she was born. Contrary to the way of life in Dark World, she dislikes causing pain--a tribute to her mother’s Offworlder blood rather than her father’s demon heritage. Needing to fit in somewhere, somehow, she knows that her survival depends on escaping the planet.
The moment she spies the light-haired captive in her father’s prison, she feels an unfamiliar excitement. The prisoner has not only survived his torture, he’s rebuffed her father’s powerful mental attacks—this prisoner may very well be the ticket to escaping her miserable existence.
Jace A’rel, captain of the recently captured pirate vessel, has no intention of remaining anyone’s prisoner. He’s on a mission to destroy the Cazeth, an evil that enslaved his planet, Mystique, years ago. Mystique is a sentient world, and as much a myth as her people, the Psi. Only those invited to the planet may visit. Jace has been honing his psionic abilities in secret for years, waiting to be called back to Mystique in hopes of saving it.
Neither Jace nor Naria can guess what fate has in store for them, and the mysterious space pirate and misfit Dark Worlder find they have more in common than they might ever have believed…
