As the race to secure Synjan and Daeson continues, Ellis and Fyfe are waylaid by a psychotic despot and Hawke awakens in a prison cell. Drugged and interrogated, Hawke’s only defence is the Wanderer talent he despises. His mission to reach Synjan is at stake… and so is his life.

Arriving in Femme, Daeson and Synjan find themselves at the mercy of an advanced civilisation that reveres Healers and oppresses men. Greeted by Intuits who can pluck secrets from their minds, their whirlwind journey through a technologically advanced world will test their resolve, their resources and their friendship.
