AZTARA, Secrets Revealed (Paperback or Softback)

On a world where minds can communicate and extraordinary creatures form lifelong bonds, a new generation is about to discover a terrifying truth.

Shayla and Tymorian have built a life together on the remarkable planet Aztara, raising their twins, Nayela and Kestle, in a civilization transformed by scientific discovery and the arrival of women from Earth. But their children face challenges unlike anything their parents imagined.

Nayela possesses an extraordinary gift—the ability to communicate telepathically with a mastel, a powerful creature deeply connected to Aztarian life. Yet the very ability that makes her exceptional also makes her an outsider among children her own age. Her twin brother, Kestle, has chosen a more dangerous path. Involved with a gang and struggling with the consequences of a tragic event, he banishes himself to the unforgiving Wildlands.

Alone and searching for survival, Kestle encounters the dreaded Orange River, where he rescues a mysterious runaway girl named Sinaka. When a terrifying creature leaves him gravely wounded, Sinaka must draw upon her remarkable psychic and empathic powers to save him.

But an even greater danger is developing beyond the Wildlands.

Ananaya, the powerful Surtarian Chief Scientist, is secretly accelerating a genetic program designed to manipulate the Warrior Genes of Aztarian-Earthling boys. His sinister ambition is to create an unstoppable army of genetically enhanced Enforcers. When the truth behind his experiments begins to emerge, the normally peaceful Aztarians face an unimaginable decision.

To save their children, they must become the very thing their civilization has never needed warriors. Aztara: Secrets Revealed, Volume III of the Aztarian Series, is an imaginative science fiction adventure exploring family, courage, genetic man
