Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Star Thief's Daughter is a dark fantasy adventure centered on seventeen-year-old Lyra Moore, the daughter of Franklin Moore, a mysterious astronomer whom the people of Oakhaven have branded the "Star Thief." For most of her life, Lyra has lived beneath the shadow of her father's strange work, his obsession with the stars, and the whispers of a suspicious village. But when Franklin disappears, the sky itself begins to break.The constellations flicker and dim as if the heavens are losing their stability. In her father's abandoned workshop, Lyra discovers a hidden satchel containing a mysterious crystal jar filled with living violet-and-silver light. The object hums like a distant choir and responds to her heartbeat, suggesting that it is not merely a magical artifact but something alive-perhaps a fragment of celestial power. Alongside it, she finds a map leading into the dangerous Broken Peaks and a warning from her father.Before Lyra can understand what she has found, the Oakhaven guards arrive to arrest her father and seize the mysterious light. Forced to flee into the woods, she becomes the bearer of her father's greatest secret. The jar seems to pull her toward the mountains, guiding her through a world increasingly distorted by the failing sky. Her journey transforms from a search for her missing father into a confrontation with ancient powers, prophecy, and the true meaning of his so-called theft.Along the way, Lyra encounters Nico Sterling, a wounded celestial being whose existence is tied to the star-light she carries. Though she initially fears him, the two eventually become reluctant companions, sharing the burden of the mysterious jar and searching for answers in the Broken Peaks.As Lyra learns more about Franklin's intentions, she discovers that he was not stealing the stars for power or greed. His purpose was to protect the light and preserve it for a world facing darkness. His final lesson reveals the true heart of the story: the stars are not a ceiling meant to imprison humanity, but seeds meant to be returned to the world. Lyra must climb toward the Apex and complete what her father began.A story of inheritance, sacrifice, courage, and cosmic wonder, The Star Thief's Daughter follows a young woman who must stop being the daughter of a legend and become the guardian of a dying sky. When the heavens begin to fracture following her father's disappearance, a young woman must flee with a fragment of living starlight to prevent a cosmic collapse and uncover the truth behind a legendary crime.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Silent Fleet Beyond Neptune is a dark science-fiction thriller about Commander Malachi Reeves and the crew of the Aeon, a salvage vessel operating in the isolated reaches of the Neptune system. Haunted by the brutal decisions of the Sargasso Incident, Malachi has learned to survive by treating every crisis as a calculation. But a routine mission soon reveals something far more terrifying than a lost spacecraft: an enormous fleet of ten thousand dormant dreadnoughts hidden beyond Neptune. The ships are technologically impossible, silent, ancient, and yet disturbingly connected to humanity's future.At the center of the mystery is the Mirror Signal, a transmission that does not simply communicate-it predicts, remembers, and psychologically manipulates the people who hear it. The crew begins receiving recordings of events that have not happened, including their own deaths, betrayals, sacrifices, and possible transformations. Even more horrifying, Malachi eventually hears a future version of his own voice describing the destruction of the first human colonies in order to guarantee the survival of a mysterious Second Humanity.As the signal spreads through the crew, reality begins to fracture. Amelia becomes increasingly obsessed with the strange language embedded in the transmission, while fear and suspicion turn the crew against one another. Malachi is forced to confront visions of himself commanding the fleet, watching Earth and its colonies fall beneath an unstoppable tide of dreadnoughts. The Ghost Fleet seems to understand his deepest weakness: his belief that terrible sacrifices are sometimes necessary to save more lives.The story builds toward a terrifying choice as the fleet awakens around Neptune and Triton becomes the apparent target. Malachi must determine whether the future shown by the Mirror Signal is an unavoidable destiny, a psychological weapon, or a future created by the very people trying to prevent it. At its heart, the novel explores free will, identity, military morality, temporal paradoxes, and the terrifying possibility that humanity's greatest enemy may be a perfected version of humanity itself When a salvage crew discovers a massive, dormant armada in deep space, they must face a psychic transmission that broadcasts their own future deaths. Can they defy a predestined apocalypse, or is their doom already written? This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Starship Beneath the Ice is a science-fiction mystery about linguist Nico Sterling and an expedition sent to the frozen world of Boreas Prime. During a brutal expedition across the planet's endless ice fields, Nico and his team detect a strange rhythmic signal beneath the surface. The transmission follows a recursive mathematical structure resembling the principles of his controversial theory of Universal Grammar-the idea that the architecture of language may be shared across all intelligent minds.The signal is coming from nearly two kilometers beneath the ice. When the expedition drills down, they discover something impossible: a vast starship buried inside a sub-glacial cavern. The vessel appears to be at least one hundred thousand years old, yet its design, alloys, engineering standards, and technology are virtually identical to modern human spacecraft. Its markings even contain concepts such as "Origin," "Destination," and "Continuity," arranged according to the same linguistic structure Nico has spent his career studying.The discovery turns the expedition into a confrontation with time itself. The ship is simultaneously ancient and new. Geological evidence proves that it has been trapped beneath the ice for tens of thousands of years, while its materials appear technologically current. Rather than being a simple archaeological relic, the vessel seems to be a temporal machine-an artifact capable of moving through history and interacting with the development of humanity.As Nico investigates the ship's archives, he discovers an even greater truth. The vessel is not merely transporting people through time; it is designed to preserve and teach the foundations of human language. Its systems contain linguistic knowledge intended for humans who have not yet developed complex speech. Nico realizes that the Universal Grammar he believed he had discovered may actually be knowledge he is destined to transmit into humanity's own past.The expedition eventually reaches approximately 50,000 BC, where the crew encounters prehistoric humans. Nico understands that the starship is part of a closed temporal loop: the future has traveled into the past to become one of the foundations of humanity's future. He speaks to the primitive people, becoming the teacher of a language that will eventually lead humanity toward civilization and the stars.Blending hard science fiction, linguistic mystery, time travel, and existential wonder, The Starship Beneath the Ice asks a profound question: what if humanity's origins were not entirely natural, but were shaped by humanity's own future? When a linguist uncovers a high-tech vessel buried deep within a frozen wasteland, he discovers a temporal paradox that suggests the very foundations of human speech were planted by our own descendants.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - For three hundred years, the kingdom of Oakhaven has survived beneath the golden light of the Beacon of Sol-Aureus. Every night, its sacred radiance drives the monstrous Umbrae back into the darkness, protecting thousands of lives behind the kingdom's towering walls. To Elara Hawthorne, the Beacon is more than a miracle-it is her duty, her penance, and the reason she has spent five brutal years climbing nine hundred steps every evening to keep it burning.Bound by her father's debts and sworn to serve the Crown, Elara has never questioned the holy machine she tends. Until one night, a malfunction forces her into the forbidden heart of the Spire.There, she discovers that the kingdom's greatest miracle is built upon a terrible secret.The Beacon is not powered by a celestial stone. Its light comes from Dorian Blackwell, an alchemist imprisoned inside a crystal chamber and connected to the ancient machinery by brass conduits driven into his body. For centuries, the ruling dynasty has harvested his living light, transforming his suffering into the weapon that keeps Oakhaven safe.But Dorian reveals an even darker truth. The Crown's hunger for light does not end with him. Across the kingdom, the Luminary Order has secretly harvested the inner spark of those deemed expendable-dissenters, vagrants, scholars, and the forgotten poor. Those drained of their light do not simply die. They become the very Umbrae that haunt the darkness beyond the walls.As Elara uncovers layers of hidden history, she must confront a devastating choice: free Dorian and risk plunging Oakhaven into darkness, or keep the Beacon burning and become the unwilling guardian of a centuries-old atrocity.Yet the deeper she searches, the more she discovers that the Crown's greatest weapon may also be its greatest lie. The light was never meant to belong to kings. It was never a gift reserved for the powerful.It lives within ordinary people.With the kingdom balanced between fear and freedom, Elara must decide whether saving Oakhaven means preserving its walls-or teaching its people that they were never truly powerless in the first place.When the Kingdom Learned to Shine is a dark fantasy of forbidden discovery, sacrifice, rebellion, and hope, where a woman raised to protect the light must finally learn what it truly means to set it free. …
