Description

<p>This second book in <em>The Seekers</em> dystopian series continues the story started in the critically-acclaimed <em>The Children of Darkness</em>, winner of the <strong>Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Summer 2015 - Best Book in the Category of SCIENCE FICTION</strong>, and winner of the <strong>Awesome Indies Seal of Excellence</strong>....</p><h1><strong><em>The Stuff of Stars</em> by David Litwack</strong></h1><p>Evolved Publishing presents the second book in the new dystopian series <em>The Seekers</em>. [DRM-Free]</p><h2><em style="font-size:13px;line-height:1.6em;">“But what are we without dreams?”</em></h2><p>Against all odds, Orah and Nathaniel have found the keep and revealed the truth about the darkness, initiating what they hoped would be a new age of enlightenment. But the people were more set in their ways than anticipated, and a faction of vicars whispered in their ears, urging a return to traditional ways.</p><p>Desperate to keep their movement alive, Orah and Nathaniel cross the ocean to seek the living descendants of the keepmasters’ kin. Those they find on the distant shore are both more and less advanced than expected.</p><p>The seekers become caught between the two sides, and face the challenge of bringing them together to make a better world. The prize: a chance to bring home miracles and a more promising future for their people.
