Opis

Twelve years after his mother's disappearance, Zahn makes his annual hike up to the island peak to sleep above the clouds -- only to be awoken by an alien object thundering down from the sky, changing the course of his life forever.
At last, Zahn has the chance to learn the fate of his mother, but the opportunity comes with a price: leave his world in a self-aware starship, with no guarantee of return. Now on the verge of twenty, he leaves his planet far behind, bound for the galactic core where he encounters the vicious Vakragha, an ancient species that craves the largest prey: entire stars. Bent on tearing at the fabric of spacetime itself, the Vakragha scream toward Zahn's home. Only the Tulari, a stone that can heal these fissures, offers any hope to Zahn and his new friends.
But saving his world from total enslavement isn't all he has to worry about. Just when Zahn lands on a moon the Vakragha stole, he makes a breakthrough, finally learning his mother's true fate. Now he is faced with a decision that could either save his world or doom it forever.
THE TRUTH BEYOND THE SKY is the 1st book in the EPIC OF ARAVINDA -- a Mythic Sci-Fi adventure series. (Also available as an audiobook.)
