Kyllikki, a woman who, in the Teleod region of the Galaxy, is
heir to a vast family fortune and the family's telepathic bonding trait,
flees the unethical domination of the head of her family.
Hiding in exile in the Metaji Empire, Kyllikki strives to blend in
with the culture alien to her and ends up working as a telepath on a
passenger liner, handling routine communications and suppressing her
urgent desire for a mental match, a man of her dreams.
Such a man is Elias, a modern singing sensation on the distant planet
Earth who has the physique of a star. Plotting war,
unscrupulous agents kidnap Elias from Earth.
His resourcefulness lets him survive in the Metaji Empire where
nobody has even heard of Earth, hidden at a forgotten location far on
the other side of the Galaxy. He has no hope of getting home -
ever. Then a hostile attack leaves Elias adrift in a lifepod.
Kyllikki and her closest friend, a vampire-like luren named Zuchmul,
likewise are stranded in a lifepod by that attack.
At considerable risk, Kyllikki rescues Elias, whom she regards as a
mere passenger while she, as crew, is responsible for his safety.
Together, they must decide what to do next - how to survive a galactic
war.
She doesn't count on falling in love with Elias. She doesn't
count on finding him to be her true mental match or on his firmly
entrenched opinions on the matter. She doesn't have a clue what
the mental power of the luren termed Influence has to do with her own
telepathic abilities or with her need for Bonding. She doesn't
even know about the Bonding that will complicate her love as it forms
between them and affect the course of galactic history
forever.
