In einer Welt voller brutaler Ambitionen und Verschwörungen müssen ein gefangener Kriegswaffe und ein unverbesserlicher Casanova zusammenarbeiten, um zu überleben. Ihre telepathische Verbindung könnte nicht nur ihr Schicksal, sondern das ganzer Welten verändern. Doch die Herausforderungen sind enorm und die Wahrheit über Surit bleibt verborgen.
Ocean's Echo is a stand-alone, romantic space adventure, set in the same universe as Everina Maxwell's hit debut, Winter's Orbit. When Tennal--a rich socialite, inveterate flirt, and walking disaster--is caught using his telepathic powers for illegal activities, the military decides to bind his mind to someone whose coercive powers are strong enough to control him. Enter Lieutenant Surit, the child of a disgraced general. Out of a desperate need to restore a pension to his other parent, Lieutenant Surit agrees to be bound to Tennal and keep him conscripted in the army, a task that seems impossible even for someone with Surit's ability to control minds. Tennal just wants to escape, but Surit isn't all that he seems. And their bond may just be the key to their freedom.
