Prime Enlightenment: "Heir to the Gift":

A new era in science fantasy."What's not to love? There's aliens, pirates, cowboys, and mermaids. A little something for everybody!""Fans of Aurora Rising and Skyward will fall in love all over again.”Luna Chambers of the Isles of Soh'Jum is desperate to escape her planned betrothment and the responsibilities of adulthood. The night of her seventeenth Candleflame, she notices something odd—a lone strand of hair, white as the moon above, shining amongst her familiar black curls. A sign that the common blood within her veins has become so much more. Something the world of Nebalor hasn't seen in over two Ages…During her travels, she discovers a crash-landed alien named Jevlin Tao, who tells her that his kind—selvians—are responsible for the recent successes of humanity. An “uplifting process” that has led to his betrayal. Another space-faring race, the imperialistic xenoth of the Xen Domain, have found out about the humans and now threaten their annihilation.
