Book One
Arc of Mind
Arca'n Spectre is a young Umarian who lives on Umara, a planet hidden from the rest of the universe. He longs to leave his home behind and explore the stars — but like all Umarians, he is expected to remain, where space travel has long been forbidden. Exceptionally gifted and possessing extraordinary abilities, Arca'n is unlike anyone else around him. When the discovery of a new resource leads a scientist to question ideas that had always been untouchable, truths begin to surface that threaten the very foundation of Umarian Ancestral belief. Three prophecies will be revealed. And then, one day, two meteors change everything.

Three nights, forty years ago
This book began more than 40 years ago, when I was 10 years old. Over the course of three consecutive nights, I dreamed this story in three parts and wrote everything down in my diary.
