A Word from the Author

In this sequel to Hegira, we find the Brin, now three hundred years after settling on their new planet. Their civilization is thriving, but all is not well, according to Maliche Rocker, descendant of the heroes of book one. Maliche is an outcast due to his love of archaeology over genetics, and his reluctance to assume his family’s traditional leadership within the government. He discovers some ancient artifacts and starts to have visions of the past, teaching him the true history of the Brin on this world. The Kolandi, a native humanoid species to the planet have not gone extinct, as is commonly believed, but have instead been enslaved and kept secret by the government and leading guilds. Maliche must seek out hidden enclaves of Kolandi survivors, and lead them to freedom, even if it means war against his own family.
