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. But if they fail this time, they risk not a stoning but losing themselves in the twilight of a never-ending dream.</p><p><strong>Be sure to start with the first book in this series, the multiple award-winning <em>The Children of Darkness</em>. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em></strong></p>

Story Behind The Book

While recovering form surgery I thought, "What if I started a book out with 'it was a dark and stormy night."? Would it sell? Well the first scene occurs during a dark and stormy night, but it morphed into a suspense involving kidnapping, trafficking, treachery and a ray of romance. Due to its popularity (it hit in the top 3 on Amazon twice), my publisher contracted me to write a continuation, Legitimate Les, and then a third book based on one of the minor characters called Freed to Forgive.

What an amazing story! I literally screamed here at home by myself saying I want more!!!! Wow. This story deserved 10 stars instead of five. Five doesn't do it justice.<br /> I don't want to give story plot away, but suffice it to say there were more plot twists that left me in a daze. What an emotional roller coaster.<br /> I loved Jen. She was believable, and funny, and courageous.</p>
