Soulsphere

This second book of the Soulsphere series continues the adventures of Gale McCarthy. She had been until recently one of the only people in the galaxy to possess a Sciath Inchinn, or a “soulsphere.” Now, her discovery of a planet full of billions of soulspheres has catapulted her into a whole new life. 

The Paxians want to crown her as a First, the thirteenth member of the royal class, and give her almost unlimited power. They shower her with riches, a luxurious mansion, fine clothes, cars, servants, and anything else she could ever ask for.

But there are rules.

And she is already breaking them.

Despite their general acceptance into their society of a sphereless deposed Prince from Choraia named Oberon, the other Firsts fear his unique mind powers. While allowing Gale and Oberon to marry, the royals will not permit them to have children, enforcing mandatory infertility. One of their other policies, that of executing Pax’s own children who don’t produce spheres at puberty, enrages Gale even more.

Employing collaboration, secrecy, and genetics, she develops a plan to save the Paxian children, Oberon, and her own future offspring from the tyranny of her new “friends.” Whether she can make it happen is another story ...
