"I'm scared that I'm not living. I'm alive, sure, but am I really living? Marcus Aurelius said "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." Sometimes I feel it, briefly. I feel a glimpse of life with every heartbeat, like it courses through my veins. And then it's gone. I spend the rest of my time either grieving its lost or chasing it. I'm just scared that I'll never catch it. Never fully feel it. It terrifies me that I might learn how to die before I learn how to live." When Jose and Maya meet at a support group called "Healing Hands," they begin an argumentative and profound friendship. They have very opposing views on life and death. They are darkness and light.

Ezekiel Joziah Hunt is the last Descendant of the Stars. As the bastard son of the King of Evimeria, he was shunned by his Grandfather Andreas when he was a small child and forced to rip off his supernatural powers. Seeking sanctuary, Ezekiel moves to a sleepy town as a student at Stonewall, an average all-boys boarding school. He has stayed hidden until the day during his vacations when a near-fatal accident reawakens his power in front of the royal court. His mystical abilities aren't the only revelation. An incomplete prophecy convinces Ezekiel that there is an impending threat within his universe. A celestial instability grows stronger each day, just as his powers do. Now, he must battle against a scheming grandfather who despises him, and the other nobles who crave to learn the secrets of his power and the prophecy without endangering their lives. But Ezekiel's biggest challenge is evading the bitterness and darkness inside him threatening to implode with a force as catastrophic as the stars.
