Primary Inversion

Sauscony Valdoria (Soz) is a member of the Ruby Dynasty, a psionically gifted race bred to rule the Skolian Empire and control the strange technology that links all parts of their empire together. She and her crew of Jagernauts--bioengineered fighting empaths--are pitted against the Trader Empire. Traders are a race that derive pleasure from the amplified pain and anguish of empaths--especially Jagernauts, as Soz knows from personal experience. As a potential heir to the Skolian Empire, the destruction of the Traders is important to her on many levels. But on a neutral planet, she meets a Trader who is nothing like those who once enslaved her...and their unexpected connection could mean death for both of them.
