    About this ebook

    After a horrific space battle, and a lifetime of separation, the most powerful psychics of their generation finally have a chance at happiness together - if they can save their people and build a new world; and maybe along the way build themselves a home.

    Professors Brodin and Saire have been tested upon, persecuted, and kept apart for decades, sacrificing their own freedom and happiness to raise a generation of newly evolved humans, the Psychically Augmented, under cruel and fearful Homeworld watch. When what they have always dreaded comes to pass, a planned genocide of their people, they must put every last hidden safeguard they created into place and show their students the staggering scope of their true powers. Whether the Professors can save themselves as well as their people becomes a race against time.

      Song of Saire - Leanna Renee Hieber

      Chapter One

      Professor Brodin dialed back the ship’s filters so that there was no mental block between himself and the whole of his surroundings. He had to sift out the tumult of emotions of the ship’s grieving crew and instead attempt to pierce the whole of space and time with one psychic lance. He dared to break into the mind of the woman who meant more to him than he’d ever been allowed to say.

      He put his fingers to the pressurized glass and stared out at the stars.

      Only in reaching out his hand did he notice how hard he shook; not because he was an elder—age was relative for a man of his power—

      The pristine white tunics of the first grades were spattered with garish scarlet blood as shrapnel tore through little bones and vulnerable tissue.

      He shook for all the years he’d spent wondering if he could ever freely love her—

      She was running. Hard.

      He shook because a rare graft over his heart allowed him to feel her pulse in concert with his—

      Choking out the stench as the Training School burned; buildings, turf, human hair…

      He shook to be truly with her in these terrible moments—

      Hiding surviving children—all that were left from her class—in a cave in the mountainside…

      Success. He’d gotten through. He could sense her, see flashes of her mindscape. Her experiences hit him like swift blows to the head—

      Captured by gunmen…

      But what good did seeing do when he was light years away, forced to watch and wait, helpless to get her off the Homeworld that wanted her dead—

      An assailant struck a blow to her side, a rib cracked in searing pain—

      Brodin slammed his fist against the glass and the cavernous vault of the Dark Nest cathedral of a ship echoed his furious cry. He didn’t know when these flashes timed with her reality, or when he could know she was safe.

      She could not feel him as he did her. Her mental fields were too tightly sealed as she did her best to mitigate the crashing waves of psychic screams transmitted as her students were murdered. But because she was unable to wholly block them, Brodin in turn was accosted by the dying emotions of children he considered his own, though they were not. Gunned down or bombed, the children faced the shock of death with the question: Why, what did we
