Twelve years after his famous mother's mysterious disappearance, Zahn's life is shattered by a discovery that will change everything.

Camping out on the island summit, Zahn is jolted awake by a brilliant object thundering down from the sky. Racing down to the impact, he discovers a crater in the silvery sand, and inside it, a triangular fragment made of an otherworldly material, moonlight sliding off of it at strange angles.

Conflicted and curious, Zahn decides to keep his discovery a secret. Taking it to the observatory means losing it forever—and with it, any chance of uncovering the truth. For days, he wrestles with the choice, hiding the fragment in his room and waiting for something, anything, to make sense.

Then, in the dead of night, a knock at his window changes everything.

A man dressed in a shimmering uniform is just outside, revealing that Zahn’s find is no mere fragment—it’s connected to a galactic conflict of unimaginable scale. Thrust into an interstellar adventure aboard a sentient starship with a cryptic captain, Zahn discovers a universe far more dangerous—and wondrous—than he ever dreamed.

The Vakragha, an ancient species that devours entire stars, are closing in on his homeworld. Their only weakness? The Tulari, a mythical stone that can heal the wounds they cut into space. But as Zahn races against time to find the stone, he uncovers a shocking truth: his mother’s disappearance is linked to the same enemy now threatening to destroy everything he loves.

Now, Zahn must make impossible choices—ones that could save his planet or doom it forever.

For fans of Star Wars, Ender’s Game, and other epic space adventures, THE TRUTH BEYOND THE SKY offers heart-pounding action, mind-bending twists, and a galaxy-spanning journey that will leave readers breathless.
