Book excerpt: Two suns govern life on the desert world Barrûn: violent Yukhara, which burns down mercilessly and makes the desert brutal and violent, and gentle Gajhavita, which restores the balance of life. Like the suns, those who live in the desert are violent and kind, searching for balance between the two extremes. A boy must find his true purpose and destiny in the desert he was born in, which leads him on a journey of discovery during which he encounters six alien races. To unlock the mystery of why the Six came to the desert, he must solve the riddles left by the ancients and finds that his own origin is a part of the mystery of the riddles.
