Claire is an impetuous young woman with a weakness for illegal “hues”—potent nanodrugs that ease her mind from the bleakness of her hardscrabble homeworld.
Cade is the older brother who worries Claire will be condemned to bound servitude — the usual punishment for those who break the law.
Startling events unfold that might condemn both to a life of bound servitude.
But there are rumors of a hidden sanctuary to escape servitude forever: Tēleos.
If it truly exists.

“For readers who appreciate thoughtful science fiction laced with action and philosophy, this book is a must-read.” — The US Review of Books.
“Tēleos” promises a world beyond that which we’ve come to know. Where power, control, and servitude are no more. But does a world such as this truly exist, and how do we get there? Mallery asks difficult questions, portrays difficult subjects, and leaves readers reeling from the similarities between his fictional world and the Earth we call home.” — Reader Views Reviews
“An accomplished and emotionally complex interplanetary tale… Get it!” – Kirkus Reviews
