Only Rogue Actions

The fifth Galactic Bonds book continues Jennifer Estep's space opera, a blend of science fiction, fantasy and historical romance in which magic and technology sit side by side.

Vesper Quill was once a lab worker who used her seer magic and engineering skills to repair appliances at a Regal-owned corporation. Now she and Kyrion Caldaren, the Regal lord and powerful psion who has gone rogue from the Arrows, the Imperium's elite warriors, are among the most notorious fugitives in the Archipelago Galaxy.

While the pair are hiding out on a distant planet, they are offered a place at a prestigious facility where they might learn to understand their truebond, the psionic connection that lets them share thoughts, feelings and skills. Mastering it may be their only hope against their many enemies, so they accept.

But the training exercise is not what it seems. A new enemy has plans of their own, and Vesper and Kyrion are split apart and forced through one deadly obstacle after another as they fight to find their way back to each other.

Told from both Vesper's and Kyrion's points of view. The author describes it as a 55,000-word book, shorter than some earlier entries in the series.
