About This Book

Naran Makun pursues his missing brother after a freight caravan vanishes while traversing a psionic null that throws out turbulent arms. He learns from caravan master Dar Girdek about ravenous carnivores that consume people whole and about Kio Barra, the estate lord who escorted the brother through the property despite possessing only weak psionic power. To uncover what happened, Naran plans to accompany a caravan under the guise of a non-psionic driver and probe how nulls disrupt psionic control and endanger trade. The tale examines survival amid psychically dead zones, the limits of power versus authority, and the practical risks faced by travelers in a hostile, scientifically altered landscape.
