But once he enters their sacred halls, his telepathic gifts reveal truths the ruling class desperately wants hidden. The priests who govern his world harbor secrets that could destroy everything Raamo believed about Green-sky and its people. As he delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding the Ol-zhaan, Raamo must decide whether to stay silent and protect himself or expose the dangerous deceptions that threaten his entire civilization. His psychic abilities become both his greatest weapon and his most perilous burden as he navigates the treacherous world of those who hold power over Green-sky.
