Serpents’ Souls and Dragons’ Hearts

A stand-alone, science-fiction short story: When a psionic child dreams of shadow, and wakes screaming about ‘many-legged ones,’ ex-Earth Captain Felicity Jones hasn’t a clue what she means—but the lizardine do. An ancient enemy has risen, and they need an ancient ally, but whether or not that ally will reach them in time, is something they cannot know for sure.
