If the stars were singing your future, what would you do to
hear it?
Eleven-year-old Kyra Starbard has proud family legacy of
interpreting the future from the stars' songs.
But her deafness, incurable by the best medics, breaks her mother's
heart and pushes her father to try anything—including the expensive purchase of
a telepathic alien servant to help Kyra communicate on a planet inhospitable to
disability.
Marne's telepathy is too weak for his
Naratsset culture, so he is sold into slavery and expects to die at the hands
of cruel 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.
But there are forces that believe Starbards, whether they
can hear the stars are not, should be utterly destroyed. 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?
