Thirteen-year-old Lena is lost-drifting through dreams that hum with strange, musical tones. One night, she vanishes without a trace. Her father believes she's run away, but Lena awakens light-years from home in the Thal'kor Expanse, a space station ruled by beings who speak in melodies instead of words. As she endures painful experiments and faces the terror of isolation, Lena discovers that time itself bends differently among the stars: a single day in Thal'kor equals a year and a half on Earth. When she befriends an alien boy named Kael, their fragile trust unravels into jealousy, betrayal, and survival. Six Earth-years later, Lena awakens on her home planet-now thirty years old, with a child beside her who bears her mother's name. Is Sarah the daughter she never had... or the mother she lost, reborn to heal what time has broken? In this haunting and lyrical work of psychological sci-fi, Darline Spring explores silence, sound, and the fragile music of identity.
