Raised Among Giants
The Boy Who Grew Up on a Heavy World
When the colony ship Horizon Dawn disappears during a mission to establish a new human settlement, the passengers are believed lost forever.
But the ship did not vanish.
It crashed.
On a distant world called Cyrion.
Only one passenger survives-a one-year-old child.
Rescued by the people of the valley of Valaryn, the boy grows up beneath the crushing gravity of a planet far heavier than Earth. Even standing is difficult. Every step requires strength. Yet the people of Cyrion refuse to give up on him.
Years pass.
The fragile child becomes a young man.
The people of Valaryn give him a name.
Karon - the one who endures.
He learns their ways. Climbs their cliffs. Survives their storms. Protects the valley that became his home.
Then one evening a ship appears in the sky.
Humanity has finally found the wreck of the Horizon Dawn.
And the survivor they never expected.
Now Karon must face a question that reaches beyond two planets:
Where does he truly belong?
A thoughtful science-fiction story about endurance, identity, and the worlds that shape us.
Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven science fiction in the tradition of classic exploration stories.
