When telepathy is branded heresy, the most powerful telepath becomes the most hunted.
In an empire where telepathy is outlawed and ruthlessly suppressed, Conley Duin and Riann Jameson, two loyal Knights of the Empire, discover they possess forbidden powers that could reshape the future—or destroy them both. Bound by a telepathic connection they can’t fully understand, they’re drawn into a hidden struggle that pits them against the Emperor’s fanatical enforcers, the Blackshirts.
But as they plunge deeper into danger, Conley and Riann, with their telepath friends, realize their powers make them both a weapon and a target.
Grappling with a shattering personal loss, Conley uncovers a sinister alliance between the Empire and a brutal slaver ring terrorizing the outer worlds. Driven to expose the truth, he rallies a small band of telepaths and powerful allies to gather a space fleet, willing to risk everything to confront the darkness festering within the Empire.

Bruce is a strategist turned storyteller, blending tactical warfare with the emotional depth of epic science fiction.
As the creator of the Empire of the Mind series, he engineers immersive space opera worlds where telepathy is outlawed, loyalty is lethal, and every battle—whether in space or the soul—matters. His writing delivers fast-paced action, morally complex characters, and high-stakes twists that keep readers breathless to the final page.
When he's not plotting rebellions or unraveling cosmic conspiracies, he's exploring the dark edges of power, sacrifice, and the human mind.
