One young woman challenges the super psychics ruling the galaxy, and finds an impossible love. 

Young empath, Violet Hunter, achieves her dream of exploring planets by becoming the pawn of one of the twelve Grand Masters, despite her forbidden psychic talent. She believes her secret is safe because the Grand Masters never appear in public and communicate through avatars. 

When life-threatening cracks in the vast web of interplanetary portals disrupt civilization, Violet agrees to investigate the cause. At the same time, her trusted tutor, Mother Tingu, explains that her father's death twenty years ago was no accident. Tingu suspects the perpetrator of both crimes comes from within the ranks of the Twelve, perhaps even Violet's own obnoxious Grand Master. Violet must penetrate their curtain of secrecy to identify the culprit. Her challenges escalate when she meets the enigmatic man behind the griffin avatar. Armed with only her erratic powers and a mishmash of allies, she must challenge the most powerful beings in the galaxy. 

Reminiscent of the science fiction stories of Andre Norton, Violet's perilous adventures are sweetened by romance and a sprinkle of laughter.

Her memory was taken. Her skills were not. Her very presence is a threat to everything he has ever cared for. They might make a powerful team... if they don't kill each other first. Once upon a time... In a land where the most powerful can be killed by water, the elite are protected by shape-shifting dragons, and the world is divided into two continents of chaos and false order, a strange girl wakes with broken ribs, three bullet holes in her chest, and a wiped memory, on the front lawn of a manor belonging to an Emperor whose reign is nearing its end. With no knowledge of who she is, the girl is determined to find answers. But everyone is either tightlipped or seemingly afraid of her very existence. When an unknown traitor attempts to assassinate the Emperor right under everyone's noses, the girl finds herself thrown into a world of monsters, magic, peril, and responsibility. But one mistake with the Emperor's formidable Guardian could destroy everything. [Completed] Highest Ranking: #1 in teenfiction #2 in science-fantasy
