Liberation — Bowen Greenwood

Once, telepaths called Archons almost wiped out humankind. Centuries later, a brotherhood called the Gentle Hand lives to keep it from happening again. But they failed. The Archons are back. Mind control is back. Earth itself fell to the Exile invasion and languishes under enemy occupation.One of the only survivors of the fall, Langston Wheeler leads the remnant of the Gentle Hand as they flee through space, hunted, a shadow of one-time glory. But the only allies he can find insist that he turn the tables and take the fight to their enemy, no matter the cost.Once a Gentle Hand, Cleo Sable chose the wrong side in the war. Her telekinetic abilities rocket her to the top of the Archon ranks, but at the pinnacle of power she finds only a brutal fight for the throne where she must win or die. To survive, she’ll have to lead the war effort against the man she might still love.The Exile War explodes across the stars. Lang and Cleo grapple with choices that change not just their own lives, but the destiny of worlds. And a desperate counterattack flies straight into the teeth of a new weapon of mass destruction.
