The Mind's Touch

When a telepathy experiment reveals what was meant to stay hidden, a brilliant sorceress and her assistant must decide what happens when perfect understanding replaces careful distance.

For three years, Third Mistress Celara and her assistant Tomás have worked toward a singular goal: achieving true telepathic projection. Tomorrow, they'll test whether thoughts can be transferred through a conduit mind and amplified by the resonance frame they've built.

The experiment is supposed to be simple. Clinical. Tomás will act as passive channel while Celara's thoughts activate the frame. He won't remember much. She'll make history.

But when their minds connect in the mineral bath, nothing goes as planned.

Memories surface. Fantasies emerge. And in the shared space of their consciousness, Celara discovers that some secrets can't be hidden when two minds occupy the same reality.

The tall, awkward researcher who hunches around the Academy Board. The common-born assistant who's spent three years being treated as furniture. What happens when perfect clarity replaces every assumption they've made about each other?

A story about dangerous intimacy, unexpected desire, and why being truly seen changes everything.
