Woman Without a Shadow

Kayla, an extraordinarily gifted young telepath, is on the run, after challenging the most powerful of the psi families on her home planet, who have tried to take away everything she has. Soon, she is caught in a planets-spanning struggle between two equally deadly forces ready to use any weapon--even Kayla's mind--to secure total victory.

Come follow Kayla's adventures in a great story, and the first in the War Minstrel's series. First published by DAW, ReAnimus Press is pleased to bring you a series you'll enjoy.

An empath fleeing from a murder conviction joins a ship of illegal traders and finds a temporary home among very different peoples in this strong story of mind-altering stones, a young woman's struggles for freedom, and the forming of interplanetary alliances which continue to challenge her freedom.
