Synopsis

Khemri is a prince of the Imperial Mind, a telepathically linked elite ruling a vast interstellar empire. Raised in isolation and trained by a circle of priests, he has spent his life believing his future would be one of luxury and power. Instead, he is thrust into a deadly game of assassination and intrigue the moment he leaves his home. Guided by his mentor Haddad, Khemri must navigate the treacherous politics of the Imperial Court and the dangers of the Sad-Eyes, a mysterious enemy lurking in the shadows. His journey takes him to the academy at Kwanantil 9, where he must prove his worth among the Imperial Navy and uncover the truth behind the Imperial Mind's true purpose. In a world of telepathic power and ancient secrets, Khemri's path will determine the fate of the empire he was born to serve.
