Ohra joined the monitor program for a chance to continue her education once her assignment was complete. Linked to an Edinar, she does her best to keep him calm during the long months of his convalescence from a plague designed to kill his people. Forin has been asleep for centuries, and now, he wants to wake, but the woman in his mind is keeping his thoughts on other things. When they both wake, their memories of their time together have faded to nothing. Now, they must find each other in a world that considered their joining a medical procedure.
