(, Jan. 20, 2015)
A world choked with people. Resources stretched to breaking point and colonising other worlds an impossible dream. With an increasingly desperate government resorting to harsher measures as food and shelter become scarce, an elite continued to live out a glittering and privileged existence in spite of the poverty all around them.Yet amid all this despair and tumult there was one simple hope among the billions of downtrodden dreamers. Find an Artifact that would unlock the key to the stars and let the world breathe again. Fate chose Zannah Baxta as a Finder but the Artifact she acquired led not to the stars but to an invincible power which the authorities desperately wanted to control.Only Zannah could wield that power, and only she could choose to share it. When her childhood sweetheart swept back into her life she chose to share that power with him alone. From that moment their love was cursed, for a great menace from the stars seemed to threaten the world. Or did the mysterious menace originate closer to home? Was the government controlling her beloved Thaniel Janes and using him against his own people?With the power now split between two young lovers, with Zannah's loyalty divided, the great love and the great power she shared with Thaniel seemed destined to destroy them both. What price the saving of a world?
