Mind-bending confrontations with inner demons and the grace of a mysterious witch-goddess leads to Gate of the Shining Ones...

Genocide and terrorism perpetrated by the bloodthirsty reptilians has forced Sir Rowan Berry to leave his newfound love and seek help from afar in Black Land.

It is the one nation on planet Eorthe believed to survive on the surface, he hopes thus far in freedom. The League of Domains has been crushed by the holocaust as the lizard king Kirzaka the Deathless, Talon of Maçina, escalates his occult intent to harvest what he wants from the other hybrid species to fuel his plan to return to the stars.

Trained in the arts of war, he is called to nonetheless seek peace within and without if there is to be any hope of a happy future with Samarit and the Longbows, to find the home he has always longed for.

But will she even survive until he can return?

Bones of Silver, Bones of Iron is book two of the first trilogy in The Stars Hereafter Chronicles, a legend of courage, love, romance, mysticism and enlightenment as the dark past of a reluctant hero enables power but leads to increasingly dangerous crossroads on Eorthe and beyond.

Q: What order should I read the books in?

A: You can read the books in any order because each makes brief references to the overall story, but I suggest this sequence:

• Lightning Seeds
• Bones of Silver, Bones of Iron
• Mistress of the Knell
• Eye of Stone
• The Naked Eye
• The Mirror Universe

Q: Why should readers give these books a try?

A: Because The Stars Hereafter Chronicles is a wild ride through a strange land in a parallel universe, anyone who enjoys their imagination stimulated in a way that makes them see the world differently will find themselves absorbed. That's what science fiction has done for me - to see human beings from enough distance to appreciate the wonder and mystery of our existence.
