Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.</p><p>In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.</p><p>Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”</p><p><strong>Be sure to read the second book in this series, <em>The Stuff of Stars</em>, due to release November 30, 2015.

Story Behind The Book

The author is personally acquainted with a mathematician who broke the DNA code but was unable to publish his findings because he worked for the National Security Agency. They considered his codebreaking techniques too secret to be published. The author wanted to show a scientist of mixed ancestry creating a formula beneficial to all humanity and distributing it free to everyone. How the U.S. government spied on the scientist while a tender love story moves the plot along is something the author wanted to publish.
