Some Things Transcend

Given a choice, Lisinthir Nase Galare would have stayed in the Chatcaavan Empire to help its reformed Emperor and Queen remake the worlds in their image. But when his presence proved a threat to the Emperor's attempts, he bowed to necessity and accepted an exile that he thought would kill him... for what was left without duty and the company of the beloved? Adding insult to injury, his escort home included two psychiatrists, as if he was something broken and in need of therapy... and one of them was another Eldritch. Did they expect him to spill his soul to anyone without the courage to make his sacrifices, and to a member of a species he now considered completely craven? And would he even have the chance, when the Emperor's enemies had a vested interest in never letting him see the other side of the border?

Xenotherapists Jahir and Vasiht'h of the novels Mindtouch and Mindline make a guest appearance in this second book of the Princes' Game, and the game is as large as the fate of three nations and millions of worlds. Perhaps there's a role for an additional prince on the playing field... .

(This book is the sequel to Even the Wingless and contains violence and adult situations. Readers entering this series from Mindtouch/Mindline should be aware that it is not at all like those books in tone.)
