The Black Star Rises (Ebook)

Ten thousand years ago, the makers of our world built a loop around it. Every time humanity started asking who built this, the loop reset: a flood, a falling tower, a plague. And everyone forgot. One of the Nine who ruled us opened a gate to stop it. The war that followed broke the world. Now seventeen-year-old Elias Thorne is waking up remembering it. The first of the Nine has walked out of his tomb and wants the key around Elias's neck. A courier who can read a language nobody taught her is pulled in after him. And the only person who knows the whole truth is the grandmother who has been lying to him his entire life. THE BLACK STAR RISES is Book One of the Dark Star saga: dark sci-fi mythology with ancient vaults, impossible machines, a ticking clock and a family secret at its heart.
