The Minor Years

On idyllic Veria Minor, Anastassia struggles to fit into a life she never wanted. She's lost everything she's worked so hard for. 

According to her cover story, she's now an acolyte Seeker, a mother, and wife of Isnar Ka'turoc. In reality, the Council's torture has left her with only a whisper of her telepathy, she doesn't know the first thing about raising a kid, and the man she's stuck with is the same one who ruined her life. If she wants to stay among the living, she must learn to forgive and adapt.

When the Narvan unexpectedly falls into Jey and Merkief's hands, the one thing on both of their minds is revenge. Kess killed Anastassia and Vayen, but he now has the High Council's protection. To make things worse, he's been awarded the advisory position for the Narvan's neighboring system, including control over the wealthy planet of Merchess, which had provided much of the Narvan's funding.

Strapped for credits, at each other's throats, and attempting to meet the High Council's demands, Jey and Merkief wage a covert battle with Kess. If the violence explodes, everyone will suffer.
