About this ebook
Her life as a recruiter has taken Enher-Dahl to places that she had not imagined, but when the Citadel lends her out to the Sector Guard for a spying mission, she is a little confused to be the only choice. She has no skills in espionage and even less tact.
Her contact is a mystery until she meets an Enjel on a tour who seems to know a bit about her. Ulises is a Guardian in search of the same things she is...perhaps.
Confronting a broken world, a kidnapped Enjel and hostages in soul form used as a power supply is way above her pay grade.

Seeing to the heart of things, Enher is sent on a mission to find out who is stealing souls and get them back.
Her life as a recruiter has taken Enher-Dahl to places that she had not imagined, but when the Citadel lends her out to the Sector Guard for a spying mission, she is a little confused to be the only choice. She has no skills in espionage and even less tact.

Chapter One
Enher-Dahl made notes on the last of the candidates. Someone entered her office and cleared their throat.
Recruiter Dahl?
Enher didn’t bother to correct the man with her full name. It didn’t matter. She turned and raised an eyebrow. Yes?
I am Com Officer Trakka, and I have been sent to bring you in for a secure call.
Enher ran a hand through her hair. Right now?
They were fairly urgent about it. I was to bring you immediately without using internal coms.
Enher got to her feet and winced as she towered over Trakka. Lead the way.
The Pfhalli were a charming people who were just beginning to notice the talents in their midst. Enher followed him through the halls just barely tall enough for her height and through a guarded door, into the secure com unit.
The headset is on the table. Knock when you are done and we will release you.
Trakka waved her to the headset and the desk in the centre of the room.
He left the room, and she was alone. With care, she took a seat on the small chair, and she adjusted the headset so it would fit on her skull and the mouthpiece would be in position. She sighed and set it on her head. A moment later, her mind spun out and she was standing in a room with three very concerned members of the Sector Guard and the Nyal Guardians. The uniforms gave them away.
Recruiter Enher-Dahl, thank you for taking this call.
A woman seated in a chair with a face-framing headset smiled. I am Relay. This is Breanik and Tesh, Guardians of Lurutek.
Pleased to meet you all. What do you need?
Breanik put his hand on Tesh’s shoulder. Tesh’s sister went on vacation to Nurmegar, and two days after she came back, she fell into a coma.
He took a deep breath and Enher let him talk.
Her body’s life signs are good, but her mind is blank. There is no cognitive brain activity. Her soul is gone.
Enher leaned forward. You have my attention.
Tesh was tense, but he didn’t speak.
I looked into it to see if there was a pathogen involved, and while there are others who have fallen ill the same way, I cannot find the link between them aside from Nurmegar.
She winced. And you cannot ask the fallen because their minds are no longer there. Even a Reader wouldn’t have anything to hang on to.
Correct. We don’t know what happened, and it seems only to infect half a percent of those who go to the vacation world. I have found fifteen hundred victims so far.
Enher’s eyes were wide. That many and no one noticed?
Breanik shrugged. All different walks of life, all different worlds. The only thing they have in common is—
Nurmegar. Got it. So, why did you call me?
Relay lifted her hand. "It was our recommendation. We had our people look into the best operative to find
