In a world of powers, gods, and technology in perfect harmony, Atum, a carefree young man, is about to come of age and soon receive his stones of power alongside his two best friends in the Gifting Ceremony. When he discovers that the world he lives in is not as stable or perfect as they've been taught to believe, Atum is forced to grow up fast, and he must decide which path he will take and how much he is willing to risk to know the truth. Their way of life is threatened by a mythical enemy from the stars, and an ancient force from within their own civilization. This is my first attempt at this book-- I love the premise and I want to take it to epic places. Any and all feedback on pacing, worldbuilding, characters, plot, or any other aspect of the story would be much appreciated.
