Eleven-year-old Kyra is meant to continue the Starbard's proud family legacy of
interpreting
the future from the stars' songs. Her deafness, incurable by the best
medics, breaks her mother's heart and pushes her father to explore
anything to help his little girl--including the expensive purchase of a
telepathic alien servant to help Kyra communicate on a planet
inhospitable to unfixable genetic defects.
Marne's telepathy is too weak for his Naratsset culture, so he is
sold into slavery and expects to die at the hands of human owners--until
he meets a human child who begs her father to "save" him. Her kindness
introduces Marne to a new world--one where he would risk his life to
save a human from her own people's abuse and the stars' songs can touch
even a deaf girl and a defective telepath.
When an intergalactic terrorist organization kills
Kyra's father, driving her mother to madness, Kyra and Marne only have
each others' friendship--until even that is threatened by the danger
surrounding the Starbard heritage. But can the two friends, not good
enough for either of their cultures or families, manage to keep each
other safe when several different worlds threaten their lives?
