Blurb: Intergalactic marauders, the K'tul, laid waste to the planet Ios (Phe'lak) in the Eltanin system in Draco,
driving its people to near extinction. Will anyone come to their aid? In time? Across galaxies two hundred
years earlier, the inhabitants of the planet Yand and its moon Yenda in the Yildun system in Ursa Minor won
their war against the K'tul but only just. In the aftermath, Worldmaker Yanara brought her family to a moon
in the Polaris B system, where they eked a peaceful existence. Until a stranger arrived seeking aid, throwing
them back into war with the ancient enemy. But this time, they seek durable peace, bringing the fight to the
K'tul's doorstep. Action packed, filled with new magic and space-time bending twists.
From the Author, What I Like About the Book:
Once again, I love combining the science of spaceships, intergalactic warfare, and wormholes (as a means of
navigating the stars) with powerful magic and the love and unbreakable bonds of family. The introduction of
time-bending adds many new twists.
The characters! The beloved members of Yanara's family return to continue their development arc (the
Pathfinder!) as new, riveting ones are introduced, Yandar and K'tul! Relationships are expanded in surprising
ways.
Overcoming extreme adversity to move forward, to create a future. At some point, Yanara ponders: "Isn't it
always so with my family? From the darkest abyss, a single, silver moonbeam lifts us; a shy starburst graces
our brows and fills our eyes and hearts. The sorrow always tempers with joy. The nightmare with hope."
The magic and time-bending! Read on to enjoy...
