A part of her gift of healing is Angeni Traek's ability to communicate telepathically with animals. Until the night she fought to save the life of Alliance Officer, Garek Sahnjun, she had never heard the thoughts of a man before, and she was not prepared for the effect the mind link with another human would have upon her. Neither was Garek, but although he managed to break the bond between himself and the healer once, when their paths cross cross again and he must battle the warlords to save them both, he isn't at all certain he'll be able to walk away from Angeni again.
