Their technological resources destroyed, a colonizing expedition from Earth has been stranded on
the world of Methuen for over two hundred years. Their continued survival is largely due to the
organization of healers known as the Eumedicos and to the Seekers Veritas, a unique group
composed of pairs of Bondmates, one human and one ghatti -- a telepathic catlike being native to
Methuen who bonds with a specific human for life. These Bondmates travel from town to town,
settling disputes by truth-reading the minds and emotions of plaintiffs and defendants. While most
people respect the Seekers, there are those who fear the ghatti powers. And now someone has
begun attacking Seeker pairs.
What no one knows is that this destroyer has targeted one specific pair of Bondmates as special
victims - the woman Doyce and the ghatti Khar'pern. For the key to defeating this deadly foe is
locked away in Doyce's mind behind barriers even her ghatta has never been able to break
down.
