Prologue
—OldEarth—
I Shall Return
Teal exhaled a long breath as he started across the shadowy, evening expanse.
The moon, full and bright, wavered among sinewy branches. Light fragments splayed across the forest floor. In his lean, middle-aged human form, Teal stepped sure-footed among the ancient trees. His leather tunic swayed with each step. He stopped and glanced back only once.
A group of men and women huddled around a meager flickering fire. Their drooping heads and muted conversations bespoke mutual exhaustion and despair.
They were not his people, yet he cringed at the thought of abandoning these helpless beings to the ravages of an unforgiving wilderness. But his year was up, and he must return to his Luxonian home world. Duty called. The Supreme Council awaited his report.
He lifted his hand in salute. “Stay safe—I shall return.” Just before he flashed out of sight, Teal caught the bright eyes of a single human, a brawny man with black hair, who would either lead his people to safety—or die trying.
Chapter One
—Woodland —
The Land Beyond
Aram shivered despite the sweat trickling down his spine. A shower of drops splattered across his face as he beat back the forest’s dangling vines and springy saplings. Exhaustion sapped his last bits of energy. With the back of his mud-smeared hand, he wiped his face.
Visions of a warm fire and venison haunches sizzling on a spit caused his heart to momentarily fail. His weary limbs demanded rest, but he only shook his head. Not yet—but soon.

Author review: Daniele Giuffrè did an outstanding job translating my historical-sci-fy novel. It was not an easy translation since there were so many characters and a new universe to consider, but she managed to convey the meaning with care and vivid detail. She also did a wonderful job formatting the book! Daniele is an excellent translator I highly recommend. |

Author review: Cristina translated three of my OldEarth series books in quick time. She did a complete job, though I had to follow up and format the pages. Easy to work with and a good communicator, she replies to messages efficiently and is very helpful. |
