They were never meant to touch.
When alien Mind-Reaper Kael breaches rebel Mara Vale's consciousness during a routine interrogation, something goes catastrophically wrong. Instead of extracting her secrets, he binds himself to her in a permanent telepathic bridge.
Now they can hear each other's every thought.
He feels her fear.
She feels his growing obsession.
As the alien occupation tightens its grip on the city, Kael begins misdirecting search teams to protect the human rebel he was meant to destroy. But the deeper their bond grows, the more unstable the alien collective becomes.
Because human emotion is not compatible with perfect synchronization.
And when Mara and Kael decide to weaponize their connection, they don't just risk their lives, they threaten to fracture the very mind behind the invasion.
In a war where thoughts are weapons and intimacy is treason, one question remains:
If the enemy can hear your every secret...
How long before you stop being enemies?
