Legion of Traitors: An Exile War Novel

Once, telepaths almost wiped out humankind. Centuries later, a brotherhood called the Gentle Hand lives to keep it from happening again. But their foundation crumbles at the moment their ancient enemy brings war back to Earth.

Langston Wheeler, a young Hand with a scandalous past, survives the first strike in an interstellar war. He comes home to warn his fellow Gentle Hands of a shadowy threat already at their door. But his message falls on deaf ears, not least because everyone remembers his infamous dalliance with a woman he should never have loved.

Cleo Sable endured nearly six years of exile before the call came, summoning her back to Earth for the war. Coming home is sweet. Sweeter still is the thought of the man she left behind -- the man for whom she gave up everything. But the first thing she sees on the voyage out of exile is Langston Wheeler in the arms of another woman.

Lang and Cleo must face their past and understand their future, if they have one. But the rules of the Gentle Hand won't let them be together, and the war won't give them time to figure it out. Each must choose between the path of service and the path of power, with no guarantee that the other will make the same choice. Their decisions echo across the stars as cataclysmic war explodes all around them, plunging the Gentle Hand into a bloody fight for their very survival.
