At commencement in 1974, she was elected a trustee of the college by her class.

In this final book of the Kayara Ingham urban fantasy series, Aulus Tuccius’ sister goes on trial for the sins of the Tuccius line.

The power these visions offer are far too tempting for the Moon Clan leader to overlook, and regardless of her wishes, he will use them to track down the terrorists that have been harrowing his people for years.

Unwilling to let the mind of the most powerful woman in 1,000 years be ravaged by empaths and telepaths, Sindri does something he hasn't done for centuries.
