“But what are we without dreams?”
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.
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.
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. The cost of failure: unimaginable.

PART ONE –The Masters of Machines
“I will tell you a great secret, Captain, perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside—that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star stuff. We are the Universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out.” ~ Delenn, Babylon 5
Chapter 1 – The Shining City
I startled awake to the touch of a ragamuffin boy with long hair tangled into knots. He wore a threadbare shirt and leggings with holes at the knees, and seemed no more than nine years old. I blinked at him three times to drive the cobwebs from my mind.
The boy stared back with eyes too big for his head.
After a moment, he reached out a finger and brushed something coarse from my cheek. Wet sand caked on my skin. I must have been lying face down.
I rolled over and sniffed. The air bore the brackish odor of low tide, thank the light. Had the tide been higher, I’d have drowned. I inhaled more deeply. Low tide for sure, a stale smell of tides gone by, of half-conscious sailors who had crashed on the reefs before me. The air still reeked of their fear at finding themselves, as I did, alone in a new land.
Well, not entirely alone.
“Who... are you?” My voice sounded scratchy like the sand. How long have I been lying here?
The boy stayed silent as my memories trickled back in. My name, Orah Weber. My birthplace, Little Pond. The discovery of the long-lost keep. The building of the boat, the first of its kind in hundreds of years. Its once unthinkable launch from the far side of the granite mountains. The endless days at sea. The storm.
Nathaniel!
