Book Description:
When a sacred journey is corrupted by ambition, a quest for unity becomes a struggle for control
Seeking wisdom and communion with their god, a fellowship of wizards and wanderers sets out in search of the legendary Golden Tree. But as hardship, ambition, and doubt settle in, the group fractures—letting the wizard Thurmore violently seize control, transforming his fellow wizards into mindless servants and corrupting their search for wisdom into a pursuit of power.
Elsewhere, Alitheia—the Wanderer and one of the few to have found the Golden Tree—returns to the Silver Forest, only to discover another tree rising from a desolate plain. Joined by Rogi, a former wizard searching for meaning beyond power, she follows a path not toward dominion but understanding.
As Thurmore's influence spreads, two competing visions of the future emerge: one built on obedience and fear, the other on compassion and connection. The fate of the wandering stars—and all who follow them—hangs in the balance.
Philosophical and character-driven, The Wandering Stars is an epic fantasy adventure exploring ambition, redemption, and the enduring search for meaning.
