The Heart of Creation

Lucian Abrantes and his companions have done the impossible. They have gathered the Orbs, found the First Gate, and entered the Light Realm. But finishing the job has dire consequences never foreseen, and things in the Light Realm are far more complicated than initially thought.

He carries with him the Orb of Shadows. As long as it exists, the Ancient One can return. As Lucian grapples with godlike powers and impossible choices, he aims to complete his quest, a journey that will test his courage, challenge his beliefs, and ultimately define his destiny...

This is the conclusion of The Starsea Cycle.
