She listens to the ocean. He listens to the void. Together, they might awaken a song lost to the stars. Iris Thorne has always heard what others could not—the haunting music of whales deep in Earth’s oceans. But when she wakes on a living alien vessel, light-years from home, she discovers her rare gift may be the only thing keeping the ship—and its people—alive. Drae’konn, captain of the Syth’nara, has lost hope of ever hearing his ship’s voice again. Until Iris. The human’s presence sparks an impossible harmony between them, a resonance that begins to bind their souls in ways neither understands. Yet time is running out. Foes gather in the dark. The ship’s song is fading. And saving his people may mean unraveling Iris’s very humanity. In the vast silence of space, love is the song that cannot be silenced.
