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

Reviews

<p><strong>5 Stars by Amazeballs Book Addicts -</strong>  ​<span style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;">First let me start off by saying kudos to Ms. Luciani for writing about someone with Multiple Sclerosis so perfectly! I have never read a book where one of the main characters has it and coming from someone that does have MS, I can honestly say that you wrote the character's fears and all the other feelings that come along with it absolutely brilliantly. So, Jessica has just been diagnosed and had her whole life turned upside down and decides to focus on just work with no romantic entanglements for fear that &quot;he&quot; won't be able to accept her with her disease. Then as fate would have it, Jessica runs into James a few times and sparks fly immediately. I am seriously in love with James. He is the ideal man for any woman I think. Every single thing he does and how he goes about his relationship with Jessica is nothing short of awesome. Jessica has some challenges as any person does, but especially someone with MS. I love that Jessica is written to be an extremely strong woman with a life changing disease but doesn't let that stop her from getting what she wants. Mad skills Ms. Luciani!! Absolutely brilliant!! I recommend this book to everyone! This one is fantastic! A very easy rating of 5 AMAZEBALLS stars for me. A copy was gifted in exchange for an honest review.</span><br style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;" /><br style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;" /><span style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;">Review by Tabitha</span></p> <p> </p>
