Exiled from his home world, Tarrin Rhivana stows away on a Federation ship, and finds himself lost in the terrifying place-between-worlds where jump ships navigate. There he meets a beautiful ghost who might be the only one who can help Tarrin save his world from outside forces that would strip it bare.
Miko Asada does not belong in the human world, not since the jump drive accident that warped him into something other. Fragile, beautiful, and silent, Miko remains an enigma, even to those who know him best.
Ajhani Guardian Tarrin Rhivana no longer belongs on the world of his birth. Exiled for choosing his clan’s safety over the sanctity of human life, Tarrin attempts to escape aboard a ship belonging to the Sky People who have invaded his world.
When Tarrin’s ignorance of Federation technology threatens his sanity and his life, he is saved by a beautiful ghost, and brought to the Institute for Psionic Research. There, he meets Miko and learns that one of the Sky People has bonded to one of the ancient artifacts his people are sworn to protect.
As a Guardian, it is Tarrin’s duty to return to his clan and convince them of the danger the Sky People represent. But his fellow Guardians will kill an exile on sight, and Miko may be the only one who can prevent them from executing Tarrin before he can deliver his warning.

Jaye McKenna's writing is so beautiful and fluid that it draws me completely into the story and world. This is the 3rd book in the Guardians of the Pattern series and although there are no cliffhangers, the books should be read in order. Miko is one of the most endearing characters I've ever read and to know that he's found someone just for him is wonderful. There are just a few sex scenes but they are so loving and tender that I'm still smiling over them.The blurb gives an accurate description of the book and all I can do is drool over it instead of giving any type of constructive review. PLEASE, Jaye McKenna, don't make me wait long for another book in this series!

A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words.com Review (A BJ Review)
Rating 5 stars out of 5 ★★★★★
As a child, Miko Asada was the only survivor of a jump drive accident on a space transport, and the event altered him forever. Beautiful and unable to speak Miko is a bit of an enigma even to those who know him best. Cameron, the man who rescued him from a life of being shared him as a sexual slave, doesn’t even understand or quite believe him when he speaks (voice synth) of dragons and the Mythe. Alone and misunderstood, Miko is losing his desire to remain a part of the human world… until he meets someone who understands and knows all about the dragons and touches the mythe.
Tarrin Rhivana was an Ajhani Guardian, one charged to protect his clan and its artifacts, but was exiled when he used the mythe to kill a thief and save his closest friend, Vaya. Even his mother, a Dragon Speaker, cannot save him from his fate after breaking one of the clan’s strictest laws. When Tarrin attempts to leave his world aboard a ship belonging to the Sky People, he doesn’t realize that in order to get through jump space, he needs to be drugged. But a beautiful ghost comes to his rescue and Tarrin wakes to find himself on Aurora at the Institute for Psionic Research. And there he learns that the beautiful ghost who saved him is very real.
Tarrin learns that one of the Sky People has bonded to one of the ancient artifacts the Guardians are sworn to protect. Now it’s Tarrin’s duty to return to his clan and convince them of the danger the Sky People represent… even if that means he might be killed for violating his exile before he can deliver the warning.
This is book three (okay, four if you count the short Facing the Mirror) of the series and it’s my personal favorite so far. I’d give this book TEN stars if I could, but since I only have five to give, I wish I could make them all shiny and bright and drape them with tinsel.
First, I’ll touch on the characters because they are the heart of this story. You know how in a series, if you have a favorite character, then you wait with baited breath each novel to learn more about that character and then finally… finally there comes a point where it’s their time to shine and grow and find love. This was that book (well, for Miko… still waiting on my other fav, Draven). We met both of these guys in book 0.5. I was patient, and it does not disappoint. I cannot tell you how much I adored the resolution of Miko’s inner struggles (well, his main one I guess, as he does continue on to have important work in the series).
Miko is a bit of an enigma in the first stories, but that’s because they are from other’s POV and no one truly understand Miko. Which meant the we, the readers, were intrigued but didn’t totally either. In this book, we finally get to be inside Miko’s head. And omgosh was it ever worth the wait. Miko is stunning and every bit as broken as he’s been painted through the eyes of the other characters but he’s also strong and such a pivotal characters to the whole series. Love Miko.
As I was reading all the other books, I’m thinking, who in heck is ever going be able to get through to Miko? I needn’t have feared. Enter Tarrin. The man is a saint… okay, he’s not really. He has his flaws, but he’s just perfect for Miko. I loved them together, love the slow burn of their romance, and their tender, sweet sex scenes. And what brought them together initially? Finally someone could understand and relate to him rather than thinking he was a mysterious, broken, powerful psion who was also a nut job. Which he so is not. The way the author handled Miko and Tarrin’s love story was perfect, and given Miko’s background there was just no other way I could have seen it going. They were beautiful together.
Parts of this book had me in tears, because Miko’s journey toward the end, which I will not give away in spoilers on as you must read it for yourself… its that perfect. It’s about accepting all the parts of ourselves, and I absolutely freaking loved that. So yeah, it had me in tears, I admit it. And I am not a crier.
The plot of this series as a whole is fascinating and so complex. I, personally, think that this series is really best read in order as each builds on the other with a central plot woven throughout. None of them end in cliffhangers. Although we are sometimes left with a little tease after the main conflict is resolved, as in this book. And I eat that s*** up.
I feel like I know all of these guys and in nearly each story I meet someone new and fascinating and find myself hoping that we will hear more about him. (In this story, that would be both Tarrin and Vaya… oh, I do love me a lost boys). But I am absolutely chomping at the bit for Draven and have to wait until book six. Huge groan.
Miko first appears in book 0.5 right at the beginning of the series and his journey so far is beautiful. I am so glad it’s not totally over; he does continue to appear in the series as he has a big role.
And the cover by Cinchbug… okay… this is me standing up and cheering because I love that image of Miko so much. Beautiful, alluring but innocent and you can even sort of see the sadness there. Love the colors and the fractals representing the mythe behind him. It’s damn close to perfect.
If more reviews had come before me, I might have given this three stars. However, I've really enjoyed this series and don't want people to not read this because I was disappointed.
This series takes place in a pretty complex futuristic paranormal galactic empire. The "Psions" are people with the ability to access the Mythe, a sort of life energy/chi/energy stream thing.
Throughout the series, Miko has been the enigmatic mystery character. He connects to the galactic equivalent to the internet via the mythe, and manipulates hardware and software at will with the power of his magick. He was rescued from sexual slavery by the leader of the organization that trains Psions and harnesses their power for the greater good. He is a pretty typical fantasy enigma- lovely beyond compare but detached from the flow of the plot, with subtle clues that he is manipulating events or perhaps foretelling them. He doesn't speak except via voice synthesizer.
So this is his story, and I was looking forward to it. However, the unfortunate truth of the beautiful enigma in romantic fantasy is that telling his story makes him less compelling. It's the mystery that makes him interesting. Some authors pull it off, but many end up with disappointed readers, and I was disappointed.
Miko in the background was intriguing. Miko in focus is kind of annoying.
So the story here is that there is a planet that home to an indigenous group of humans (? this is never confirmed, although the assumption is that they are human and there is discussion about whether they are a lost colony or preexisted Earth). They are spiritual and tribal and the Mythe, which nobody else other than Miko seems to believe in, is their religion. Tarrin is part of this tribe (the Ajhani) and is exiled. This is a pretty drawn out process and defines the tribe as being rule bound and not particularly spiritual, despite their link to the mythe. For example, they have a "dragon speaker" who supposedly is able to enter the mythe and speak to the guardians there (called dragons) but they don't actually listen to anything she says. Tarrin used his powers to kill an outsider who was stealing sacred mythe weapons, and snce this tribe has an inflexible moral code that was the end of him.
Right off the bat the story seemed less thoughtful than the previous stories. The rigid morality in a supposedly spiritual culture, combined with the unambiguous villains, made Tarrin's whole ordeal more a means to an end (a way to get him to Miko) than an interesting plotline in itself.
After this, Tarrin decides he has to get off the planet for kind of vague and nonsensical reasons and, even though he's ill after his ordeal, hops on a ship and stows away. Followers of the series know that this is a bad idea, as the jump technology they use makes people insane. Luckily Miko finds him in the mythe and rescues him.
What follows is an effort to visually represent this energy stream. I found it lacking, unfortunately. While there's a lot of talk about how the visual aspect is only a perception, and efforts to make it a bit stretchy/dream-like, it really was a bit mundane and lacking in any metaphorical originality.
So now we follow Miko (who is resistant to having a relationship in a pretty normal romance novel fashion) and Tarrin (who isn't) as they meet and like each other and go on some adventures and try to save the universe. See, the head mythe dragon has tasked Miko with staving off the destruction of everything.
Unfortunately, instead of an insightful and creative character who is straddling two realities, Miko just comes across as a stubborn and frightened child. I think a little of that is fine, but the mystical and enigmatic was almost completely discarded in an effort to make him the vulnerable ingenue needing rescue by Tarrin's big strong warrior character. Even his trips into the mythe did not really give him any magic, because the mythe was almost entirely described as pretty mundane and earthly (a shelter, a forest, crossroads, etc).
As romantic fantasy, it's still OK, and it definitely has the worldbuilding of previous books to prop it up, but for someone who was looking forward to this particular character's turn to find love, the oversimplistic treatment killed some of the magic.
Yet, if you've followed the series and enjoyed it as I have, you'll have to read it anyway. It's part of the overall story arc. And maybe others will think she did exactly the right thing with Miko's character. This reader, however, was disappointed.
Jaye McKenna's writing is so beautiful and fluid that it draws me completely into the story and world. This is the 3rd book in the Guardians of the Pattern series and although there are no cliffhangers, the books should be read in order. Miko is one of the most endearing characters I've ever read and to know that he's found someone just for him is wonderful. There are just a few sex scenes but they are so loving and tender that I'm still smiling over them.
The blurb gives an accurate description of the book and all I can do is drool over it instead of giving any type of constructive review. PLEASE, Jaye McKenna, don't make me wait long for another book in this series!
