" ... an epic story in the making... " —Booklist
There's a price on her head, and it has everything to do with the brand on her arm.
Tertian Space Coalition has blessed every planet in the quadrants with high technology, save one: Drosero. But in spite of their tenuous treaty with the ruling clans, TSC has plans for the backward planet. And they're not alone.
After a catastrophic explosion, Kersei Dragoumis awakens in a derelict shuttle, alone, injured, and ignorant of the forbidden technology that has swept her into a nightmare. The brand she's borne since childhood burns mysteriously, but the pain is nothing to that when she learns her family is dead and she is accused of their murders.
Across the quadrants, Marco Dusan responds to the call of a holy order-not to join them, but to seek a bounty. Gifted-or cursed-with abilities that mark him a Kynigos, a tracker sworn to bring interplanetary fugitives to justice, Marco discovers this particular bounty has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with prophecy. One that involves the hunter as much as the hunted.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just finished listening and I have a very important question:
How soon is the audio for book 2 releasing? It is in the works, right? It NEEDS to be! The narrator was INCREDIBLE.
This story is fantastic and I am not at all surprised that it has won so many awards. Truly just ... all the feels! Do NOT think this is a good bedtime read. You will see the dawn! This story is too incredible and compelling to be interrupted by something as mundane as sleep.
Adventure, suspense, mystery, friendship, family (both good and ill), heart-rending decisions, passionate true love, and noble warriors...plus medieval royalty and castles with space battles combined in a way that isn't remotely cheesy? It doesn't seem possible and yet...somehow Kendig managed it. This was my first book by Kendig and it made me an instant fan. I will definitely be checking out more of her work even beyond this series.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow!! Fabulous story and I just have to say Adam Gold is truly an amazing narrator!!! In fact I don’t think this story would have come alive the way it did without him!!
Wow!
Wow!
Starting book two now!! lol! - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting mix of plotlines. I could've done with a little less swooning. The narrator did a great range of male voices but was absolutely rubbish at female voices.
