Lisanne Norman Books in Order

On the occupied human colony of Keiss, Carrie discovers a telepathic bond with injured Sholan Kusac and hides him from the Valtegans. Their connection offers the possibility of cooperation between two peoples facing the same conquerors.

Human telepath Carrie and Sholan Kusac explore their bond as their peoples negotiate a defense treaty against the Valtegans. Political factions on both worlds seek to exploit their powers or destroy the emerging alliance altogether.

As more humans and Sholans form telepathic bonds, Carrie and Kusac face competing guilds and clans on Shola. The prospect of a powerful hybrid race drives them to seek independence and answers in the world's buried history.

Carrie, Kusac, Kaid, and T'Chebbi undertake a rescue mission on distant Jalna, where humans and Sholans remain trapped. Valtegan interference has left the local population dangerously unstable and created a threat to the rescuers' telepathic powers.

Rushing injured Carrie and Kusac toward medical help, Kaid's ship falls into a Valtegan trap. A massive unknown vessel captures both sides, leaving him to discover whether their new captors offer any hope or an even greater danger.

Negotiations with the secretive Primes expose power struggles that threaten the Sholan Alliance's fragile diplomatic progress. Still recovering from torture, Kusac prepares a covert mission whose discoveries could endanger his reputation and destabilize the balance preventing interstellar war.

Kusac leaves Shola on a secret mission, apparently abandoning Carrie, Kaid, and his clan. His elite team must meet a Valtegan enemy to attempt a rescue of his young son while new powers and hidden agendas complicate their task.

An usurper's seizure of the Valtegan throne pushes Kusac and his allies toward a dangerous attempt to restore Prince Zsurtul. Meanwhile, a confrontation with Carrie and Kaid approaches, and powerful forces seek to manipulate Kusac's destiny.

On M'zull, Kusac and his mixed Sholan-human clan pose as a legendary avenging spirit to undermine the warrior Valtegans. His mission forces difficult choices between rehabilitation and destruction while drawing his family into unexpected danger.

Eight stories explore encounters between humanity, divinity, magic, and science, taking warriors and dreamers into unfamiliar realities. From the title tale to mysteries of identity and perception, these collected pieces reveal worlds where ordinary assumptions cannot safely be trusted.
