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.
