This book follows the life of Reza Gard. Reza was a young boy living on the plant of New Constantinople when the Kreelans destroy his planet and killed his parents. His first encounter with the Kreelan priestess Tesh-Dar became a turning point in his young life. Reza's fate is entwined with the Kreelan in a way no other human's has ever been. This is an amazing story of Reza's coming of age. I had a hard time putting my kindle down. Very highly recommended.
