Dissonant State

Full of suspense, adventure, and heart, this hopeful space opera is sure to delight fans of Malka Older, Becky Chambers, and Martha Wells.

Kay Wilder despises Ravel Corporation, whose occupation of her home planet left Kay with a useful but debilitating power to hear others' emotions. Unlike her brother Jasper, an activist who fights corporate injustice, Kay stays as far away from Ravel as possible.

Until now. Because Ravel has kidnapped her brother, and to help him, Kay will have to go undercover working for the enemy.

Forced to lie about what Ravel did to her home, Kay finds her new job harder and lonelier than she could have imagined, until she discovers an ally who hates working for Ravel as much as she does: a sentient ship who will risk destruction to help their first and only friend.

But the risks are far greater than Kay's and Ship's safety. To save Jasper, she may have to let another world suffer her home's fate—and betray everything she and her brother believe in.
