Song of the Nightskimmer. Commonwealth Universe Age 1, #10

The legend of the Talon continues to grow. When Edrian Rensler regains contact with a hidden village that provides a plant vital to his family's protective elixir, he gains new allies in the battle to defend Rensler.  In coming years, the colony world deals with invaders trying to change Rensler's society and soul for their own profit and power. He and the Nightskimmer, Aeza, grow even closer as adulthood brings new challenges.
Edrian thinks about the future in new ways, when Aeza takes a mate and urges him to finalize his soul-bond with Aura. Then a series of crises and losses strike the planet, the colony, and the Rensler family, and Edrian risks death to protect and avenge those who hold his heart and soul.
