Banishment from a kingdom, titanic monster attacks, secret conspiracies, and interstellar travel - are these part of a normal childhood? Elikai wouldn't know, for he's never met anyone from an older generation. But when he and his family arrive on a new, mostly deserted planet, they meet a man named Rusum who has invaluable knowledge of the surrounding planets. Having just entered adulthood, will Elikai be able to begin a new peaceful life with his family on this planet, or will they encounter unidentifiable objects, superstitions, betrayals, and death? Pulling from the first eleven chapters of Genesis and every chapter of Job, this sci-fi/fantasy novel delves into themes of friendship, doubt, and hope in a suspenseful, gut-wrenching, and unforgettable story.
