Journey (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781959574262)

Deceived by his own father and hated by those he imprisoned, Ledger flees a shattered past across the galaxy, seeking redemption and purpose. In the throes of galactic war, ancient Immortal enemies, and the rise of a ruthless empire, Ledger is thrust into a journey that challenges everything he believed. Joined by his loyal friends and the resilient pilot Zara Goy, Ledger must confront his deepest wounds, face impossible odds, and embrace a calling that could ignite hope for every planet in the galaxy. Amidst forgiveness, love, and cosmic conflict, Ledger carries the fate of humanity. Will he overcome the crushing guilt of his past and rise up a hero for the Merchant, or will the lord of Immortal darkness crush him?

Fleeing his past on Rayl, where he once served as a feared KDF agent and bears the weight of having killed his own brother and persecuted many who followed the Merchant, Ledger is drawn deeper into a conflict that spans worlds and civilizations. As forces of darkness tighten their grip across the Outer Rim, Ledger must wrestle with the truth revealed to him by Jeshu and discover what it truly means to follow the Merchant's call.

Joined by loyal allies and unexpected companions, Ledger's path leads him across dangerous frontiers, contested systems, and divided peoples. Old loyalties will be tested, new bonds will be forged, and the cost of truth will become increasingly clear. As the Morian Empire expands its reach, those who choose to stand for Jeshu must decide whether they are willing to risk everything for a kingdom not of this world.

Journey marks a pivotal turning point in The Starlore Legacy, tracing the spread of a message that cannot be contained by empires or extinguished by persecution. With sweeping space adventure, memorable characters, and profound spiritual themes, Chuck Black continues the epic saga that began with Nova, blending fast-paced science fiction with timeless truths about faith, courage, and redemption.

Perfect for teens and adults alike, Journey is a story of conviction, sacrifice, and hope in the midst of a galaxy at war.
