Publisher's Summary

When it comes to warfare of the mind, the battlefield is an unweeded garden....

Dusan is a young outsider on Ora, a remote island inhabited by a telepathic species who actively avoid the humans who live far across the ocean. He is effectively "deaf" - unable to communicate mind to mind with his peers. In fact, his people regard him as little better than the feebleminded humans. Shunned and taunted by his own people, he leads a dreary existence...until a chance encounter with a human boy from across the sea changes everything.

Together, Dusan and his newfound friend discover that their minds aren't nearly as feeble as they've been led to believe...and that they're the linchpins in a war between the Oran people and their past.
