The Turquoise Bones

In a bronze age culture on an alien world live two teenagers.

Apjay speaks to the dead in dreams and remembers words of a language forgotten long ago. He believes his gifts come from the invisible stars--lights that once ruled the night sky. The only person in his tribe who understands him, so he believes, is the beautiful Iota.

Iota is a gifted healer who, as a child, watched her father die of illness. While the messages Apjay brings from the dead comfort her, she has no trust for the stars whom she believes are to blame for her father's death.

The discovery of a turquoise skeleton prompts Apjay to go on a spiritual quest. Fearing that the past is repeating itself and Apjay will suffer her father's fate, she follows him. She will stop at nothing to save Apjay from the stars and himself. She'll even follow him to the dreaded city of the starstealers.

Together they will discover the deeper mysteries of their world.
