A World Awake: “The first truth was not light. It awareness.

The first truth was not light. It was awareness.On Nu'Baana, the world is alive-and the Nu'Baani have always believed they understood their place within it.They are wrong.When loss, death, and unfamiliar change begin to disturb the rhythms of their civilization, old explanations no longer fit. Ritual cannot quiet every question. Memory cannot account for every absence. And Mother, the living world beneath them, seems to be responding in ways no one fully understands.What begins as grief becomes awakening.As certainty fractures, the Nu'Baani are forced to confront a possibility that will change everything they know about themselves, their history, and the world they call home: Nu'Baana may be far greater than they were ever allowed to imagine.A World Awake is the first book in The Seven Suns of The V'Nari, a sweeping science-fantasy saga of consciousness, culture, memory, loss, and discovery.
