When fourteen-year-old Keth's dad is
transferred to planet Aleyne, he doesn't
know what to expect. Certainly not to
discover Dad grew up here, and studied
with Ardaval, a noted Aleyni scholar.
On Aleyne, Keth's psi ability develops.
However, psi is illegal in the Terran
Federation. After a dangerous encounter
with two Terran teenagers conflict erupts
between Keth and his father. Keth seeks
sanctuary with Ardaval. Studying with
the Aleyne scholar Keth learns the truth
about his own heritage. After Keth's friend's
father, Mazos, is kidnapped, Keth ignores
the risks and attempts to free him. Little
does he realize who will pay the cost as he
becomes involved with terrorists.
