It's been a year since Cassie Whelan “Emerged” as a powerful exohuman healer and she's finally feeling comfortable in her new role as a superhero. She and her boyfriend, Nate, are doing great and are even building a team of heroes to better protect and serve humanity. But it looks like Nate is a little too interested in their newest recruit, a beautiful blonde ice controller. On top of that, anti-exo bigots are picketing her home and the government is spying on her. Oh, and there’s also an invasion of dragons. From outer space. So… Yeah, she’s not having a great week. From the author of Burden of Solace, another chapter in the adventure and romance that is... The Starforce Saga

She can heal any wound, but the price is her freedom, her humanity, and her love.After a brutal attack, medical student Cassie Whelan discovers she has empathic healing abilities. She’s become an exohuman - a non-human according to the law. She must choose between hiding the miracles she can perform or becoming an anonymous, numbered government slave - like Guardian 175, the horribly disfigured exo who is falling in love with her. With her empathic senses, she can actually feel his growing affection for her. But his loyalties are divided between love and duty. She wants to trust him, but betrayal by him could destroy everything. And the one thing she can’t heal is her own heart.
