Kira Elsar is used to being the smallest member of her military unit, but her telepathic gifts allow her to do what no one else in the Tararian Guard can: to get into the mind of the enemy—literally.

While on her first field op with one of the most elite special ops teams in the Guard, the mission takes an unexpected turn that will test Kira’s abilities in new ways.

Can Kira rise to the occasion and solve the case?
