Wil Sietinen never wanted power. Torn between his responsibilities as a High Dynasty heir and training as an elite telekinetic soldier in the galactic military, he would rather design starships than plot political schemes or battle strategies. But when Wil is kidnapped by a mysterious alien enemy, he's ensnared in a brutal interstellar war that's been secretly waging for centuries.
Learning that his unique telekinetic powers are the result of a generations-long plan to end the war, Wil confronts his daunting duty to lead the exhausted military to victory. But when he realizes that the enemy isn't who he's been led to believe, Wil faces an impossible moral dilemma as the fate of two civilizations hangs in the balance.
Caught between ruthless adversaries and unsure who to trust, can Wil secure the Taran Empire's future?
