Omnes Videntes (The Space Merchants, #4)
Wendie Nordgren
They were created in a lab. Feared and reviled in both the Laconian Sector and in the Galaxic Expanse for their combined empathic and telepathic abilities, the Hybrids have found a home in the Parvac Empire. Having sworn allegiance to Princess Teagan of House Probus of Parvac, the former mercenaries become her personal guard. However, Teagan must struggle to survive her own failing heart, the manipulations of Parvac’s most prominent political leaders, and fighting among the Warrior Caste. Will the exceptional abilities of her Omnes Videntes be enough to save her?

Teagan deals with a lot of internalized misogyny, not a surprise considering the deeply misogynistic society Nordgreen writes, but I still find it utterly horrifying that Teagan is almost raped, and only one person in a room full of people who supposedly love her, speaks up to say that it isn't her fault, and she didn't encourage him. Furthermore, he isn't actually punished for his attempted rape, only for being "overly flirtatious with the princess"!
