Part of Psy-Changeling, book 20
First published 2021
Payal Rao commands a business empire and wields cardinal telekinetic power. Others call her merciless, a robotic sociopath. She embodies Psy perfection: beautiful, powerful, emotionless. Canto Mercant runs intelligence for his influential family. A spinal injury marked him as imperfect by Psy standards, but he protects those he claims with ruthless dedication. He works as a shadow in the Net, unknown and unseen. Both Payal and Canto serve as anchors, a secret designation that stabilizes the PsyNet. Now the psychic network collapses, threatening every Psy life. Canto needs help from the most powerful anchor alive: Payal Rao. A dark past binds them together, one neither can forget. The dying PsyNet will soon ignite in violent chaos. Passionate madness threatens to consume them both as they fight to save their race.
