Echoes of the Star Song

In a sprawling star-opera where genetic purity dictates destiny, a young woman is branded an outcast, her bloodline deemed a contamination. Cast out to the galaxy's lawless fringe, she is driven by two impossible goals: to reunite with a highborn lover separated by light-years and to free her mother's consciousness from an impenetrable digital prison. To survive, she must awaken a forbidden psionic power, forging her very will into unique, evolving battle armor. As she rises from scorned pariah to legendary commander, she uncovers a conspiracy at the heart of the galaxy's most powerful empire. Now, with a universe-devouring swarm threatening all existence, the secret locked within her genes may be the only thing standing between civilization and total assimilation.
