Product Information

Dirty Mind-Reading: When Tyler and Saedii are trapped in the same detention cell, he briefly remembers sleeping with Cat. Saedii has telepathy from her Waywalker heritage, and is disgusted by his thoughts, calling him pathetic. Even after Tyler discovers her telepathy, he thinks about Saedii's attractiveness a few times, which she also notices. After the squad first meet Saedii and Kal warns them all not to let her get close, Tyler snarks, "If I have anything to say about it, the young lady in question will be kept at minimum safe distance from now on." Later in the book, Tyler is imprisoned in the same detention cell as Saedii, and during their escape, the two briefly end up in a compromising position. In the next book, they have sex. Minimum safe distance indeed.

All of them are carbon-based, oxygen-breathing and bipedal; they are able to eat each others' foods, comprehend each others' languages, be infected by many of the same diseases, and at least some can interbreed. This is an intentional effect of the Eshvaren deliberately seeding the galaxy with proto-lifeforms in their own image.Nari drags Zila on hikes to the most beautiful places in Korea. Zila pretends to hate the physical exercise, but she loves spending time with Nari in the nature she's never experienced

Foe Romantic Subtext: Tyler and Saedii appear to be attracted to each other, despite initially falling somewhere between "active enemies" and "reluctant allies". Psychic Link: Kal has a mild one with his sister Saedii, where if they are near each other, Saedii can sense where Kal is. Kal can also sense Saedii's location, though not as strongly or accurately. Shared Unusual Trait: Auri, after her right eye turns white. The Eshvaren statue also has a white right eye, indicating the connection between them. So does Archon Caersan, a.k.a. The Starslayer.After the Ship Tease of the second book, Tyler and Saedii do indeed get together, birthing a daughter named Lae in at least one alternate timeline... and by the looks of it, the main timeline as well. Fictional United Nations: The Aurora Legion is a joint venture between the humans, Betraskans and most recently Free Syldrathi that serves as a neutral mediating force.
