The Psion of Darkness (The Starsea Cycle, Book 7)

Lucian has almost proven himself to be the true Chosen—but the cost is rising. With every Orb he collects, the Shadow of the Immortal inside him grows stronger, threatening to consume his mind.

Terrified of the inevitable "Joining," Lucian halts his quest to seek the masters of the Mako Academy. He needs answers, and he needs them fast.

But his rival isn't waiting. Xara Mallis, the Psion of Darkness, has no qualms about using the forbidden powers of the Immortal. She claims the title of Chosen for herself, and she is ready to fight to the death to keep it.

Can Lucian's magic prove ascendant?
