A Brilliant Sci-Fi/Fantasy Adventure With Depth
"Perus and the Nine Moons: The Stolen Sun" captivated me from the first chapter. This isn't just another coming-of-age adventure—it's a masterfully crafted journey through an imaginative underground civilization that feels both alien and familiar.
Perus is a protagonist you can't help but root for, determined to compete in the Contest of Mastery not merely for glory, but to fulfill his lifelong dream of seeing the nine moons and stars. What begins as a straightforward competition quickly evolves into something far more significant, with cosmic stakes that expand beautifully throughout the narrative.
The Traveler
This book is an immersive and exhilarating fantasy adventure that takes readers on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and quiet heroism. At its heart is Perus, a determined young runner who longs to escape the confines of his underground world, Apelios, and glimpse the stars and moons he has only heard of in legend. His opportunity comes in the form of the Contest of Mastery—a grueling race that promises freedom to the victor. But what begins as a test of physical endurance soon spirals into a far greater trial of spirit and destiny.
