First published 2023
Pavel Stepyrev has never been apart from his twin brother Yakov, but everything changes when he falls for Arwen Mercant, a Psy empath who brings the StoneWater bear to his knees. As Pavel's life takes a new direction, another set of twins faces their own crisis. Theodora Marshall may be considered worthless by most Psy, but her violent twin brother Pax trusts her with their family's darkest secret. Their grandfather established an unregistered rehabilitation Center, one of the psychic torture facilities that wiped minds during the Psy race's Silent era. This particular Center was far worse than the others. Theo must investigate the terrible truth, but she won't be working alone. Yakov joins the investigation, though he refuses to trust any Marshall. The scowling bear has good reason for suspicion. As the great-grandson of a foreseer, Yakov experiences prophetic dreams, and night after night he watches Theo die in a surge of blood that seems impossible to prevent.
