The Dark and the Silence

There's a bounty on Solara's head. As Lady of the Diadem, the single most powerful psychic and political entity in the city, she's surrounded by more enemies than she's ever been before, and that's just the beginning. Her quest to better the lives of the psychically enslaved creates new rivals every day. When a recurring nightmare leads Solara to Naiji, a little girl stripped of the gift and left to die, her already tumultuous world implodes.
Someone is experimenting on psychics, leaving a trail of bodies behind them. And Solara has just drawn their attention. They send her an invitation - a taunt - to join in their fun. But Solara's own gift is growing wildly out of control, broadening in scope and strength faster than she can learn to manage it, with devastating consequences. Innocent people are dying around her, she is the only one powerful enough to help, and the very ability that has been her security has become her undoing.
As Solara unravels the tangled history between her, Naiji, and the city itself, her shadowy adversary circles closer, bringing with them a choice and a truth that will change the fate of the city forever. With unfathomable power and no certainty of how to use it, Solara must find the line between dictator and liberator, defender and killer, before there's nothing left to save.
