Short description
A mentally-unstable telepath stows away on a freighter, only to discover that it's actually a pirate ship fighting a war that's already been lost. Will he find a place among the crew, or will the secrets he carries get them all killed?Extended description
A medic with a broken body.Neva Whitestone was severely injured during the Zatvian attack that destroyed her homeworld. Bearing scars on her face and in her soul, she is adrift in a universe crushed beneath the might of the Zatvian Cooperative. Now Neva has received a mysterious summons from a ship called the Exile.
A stowaway with a broken mind.
He has no name except the insult flung at him–Rat. Without any memory of his former life, he is haunted by voices in his head, which threaten to drive him mad. Desperate to escape, Rat flees from the Zatvians hunting him by stowing away on what appears to be an ordinary freighter.
A ship in exile.
The Exile is no innocent freighter, however, but instead a pirate ship embroiled in the last vestiges of rebellion against the Zatvians. So far, they have survived their private war. But now they have on board a man without a past, whose ravaged brain holds secrets that the Zatvians will kill to possess.

When I read Exile's Burn initially, I found myself staying up until one and two thirty in the morning just so I could find out what would happen next. Reading Exile’s Burn was one of my first forays into reading indie fiction. As a result of reading Corvidae’s book, I’m pretty sure I’m hooked for good. Hope to see an e-release of the sequel, Fire in the Void, soon!
The story itself did have some predictable elements, but the predictability led to dread and heart-pounding anticipation about what was going to happen when the story’s characters finally figured out that you, the reader, were right and they were wrong. The death of various characters never took place without reason, which I like in a story, and there was never violence simply for the sake of violence.
It was a fantastic read, and one I’d read again. Very happy it's finally out in ebook format!
