Book Description
"Cooper stretched his arm over on top of Coupe to quiet him and hold him down. He then reached into Coupe's mind and urged him to sleep, told him to sleep, that he was safe and could sleep the night through without worrying about those . . . things that came to him. Coupe's thrashing began to subside. He did not scream at all. He returned to a peaceful sleep." Cooper Callister cannot speak. Coupe Daschelete is the victim of horrible abuse. No one would expect them to possess superhuman powers. But they do. When a fight in the woods forces them to reveal themselves to each other, they start a journey together that leads them to discover power they never expected, power they were never intended to have. To unlock those powers and fully understand them, they must follow a difficult and dangerous path of self-discovery and self-revelation. Cooper is forced to face the isolation of his silence. Coupe must confront the demons that haunt his dreams, planted there by those who have abused him and broken his mind. Alone they could not do it. Only together do they have the strength to conquer their challenges. The threats they confront force them once again to evolve into something new, this time to face a new enemy with deadly intent. But is the world ready to accept what they have become?

Book Description
The year is 3193... ...and it has been over six hundred years since humans first traveled to the Omicron Quadrant. A lot has happened since their arrival. Alliances have been forged, wars have been waged. When Iris Porter first arrives in the quadrant and meets two bounty hunters - Captain Kansas Smith and Lieutenant Lewis Auznarr - nothing could have prepared her for what was in store. Kansas's people, the eldevians, have been fighting a war for over 400 years with no end in sight until a man appears, claiming to have the codes that could bring down the eldevian defense system and allow their enemies to invade. Kansas, Lewis, and Iris are then in a race against time to stop the codes from falling into the enemy's hands all the while being chased relentlessly by a notorious group of mercenaries, the Black Hawks. Even with an end now in sight for the war, there seems to be something else lurking on the horizon. Something far greater and far more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined.
