SwedenAbout the book
Camis has spent his life travelling the peaceful world of Maa Erda with his mother, Serin. But when she vanishes after sending him a desperate telepathic warning to run, Camis is thrust into a harrowing search that will shatter his world.
But Serin doesn’t want to be found.
Determined to find her missing brother, Nenna refuses to give up hope. When Camis and Nenna’s paths collide, the pair uncover a terrifying truth stretching far beyond anything they could have imagined.
High above Maa Erda hangs the Crystal Moon, home to a magnificent city powered by a mysterious crystal capable of altering matter itself. But that power comes at a deadly cost—and their ruthless ruler is willing to pay it.
As secrets unravel and hidden powers awaken, Camis, Nenna, and Serin are drawn into a conflict that spans two worlds, where survival may demand the ultimate sacrifice.

Camis, run! Do not use mindspeak—just run!
And he does instinctively, plunging into the darkness, leaving the cart and fleeing. The long grass and shrubs soak him more than the light rain. His hair whips out behind him, and his hood is thrown back, useless.
