In a land where touch is banned, only telepathic interrogation can reveal the secrets of a corrupt church.   Years after the plague has been lifted from Albion, people live in fear of telepaths, wearing gloves at all times. Mere touch has become taboo, and the Church of the One True Way rules the land with an iron fist.   Using the new railroad, Jairden travels throughout Albion searching for evidence with which to blackmail the High Priests.   He adopts young telepath Alexandra, who apprentices with him as she grows, at first delivering messages and later, conducting interrogations, all the while oblivious to the purposes behind Jairden's threats and political connections. As she grows, she earns the dark truth about her past as well as the alarming extent of her mentor's psychic abilities.   The avaricious Church has gone to excess, exacting high tithes and charging exorbitant amounts for medical treatment. High Priests use the funds to live lives of wealth. But who is hiding among them?   Exposing the Church could mean torture or death for Alexandra, but is Jairden the bigger threat?   This alternate universe novella is a new take on telepathy, politics, and assassination in the world of post-plague Albion. Can be read as a fast-paced standalone.
