Awakenings - Derek Stirling Kerr - Bog

Volume 1 - Book 2 of the Tr Halsien Zjeur
A Kiyron Novel
ARRIVAL OF THE KAJIN RABIEL
The second in a gargantuan series of books spanning millennia. *** "Darkness can never withstand light, no matter how it might try. Through my brother's awakening are we all un-glamoured. Through his choice, we all grant ourselves permission to join him."
Asju: Kkombinaar Yathesj to the Pirë Iprë Nestled in Ristiek's lower mountains, Lieoptay-Noot, Nktliflë Seer to his people, friend and student of Iyrës, the not-yet-born Kajin Rabiel, continues to reveal a multitude of events that will shape the future of Malkiyron and Dooskiyron, the outer and inner worlds of Kiyron. His cryptic prophecies are dominated by the role of Iyrës and all the events that will become known as the Tr Halsien Zjeur. It is the time of the 2nd Augured Climacteric. All the nations of Malkiyron have moved on, with events from the 1st Augured Climacteric now considered little more than a footnote in time. The War of Deceptions is ancient history. The Banished Tribyoolien are considered little more than myth. But not everyone across the planet has forgotten. There are those who haven't slept while the world keeps turning. Their waiting is finally over. The one they've been anticipating has arrived. Raised in exile by his mother Til-Bray, one of the mythical Bayith Pirë of Doothu, and educated by the multi-soul entity known as Zjuubi'iel, Iyrës' journey into the world and his destiny finally begins. If he survives his transformation during the Siyath Dooloa, and survives his own death during the final test of Nhom-Dmaar, the world will never be the same again. The Kajin Rabiel of ancient prophecy will have arrived. Be they enemies or allies, those forces aware of his pending arrival think they are ready. But how do you prepare for a person foreseen to unravel events from the end of the War of Deceptions? How do you control someone powered by the divine will of an entire planet? Or conquer an individual destined to be the conduit for a divine force even greater than that? Yasj and his family certainly have no idea. But he's suddenly, inextricably, in their lives, and they'll do whatever they can to help. Especially Yasj. Feeling trapped on his family's farm, and aching for adventure, he wants more than the restricted life he sees before him can ever hope to provide. Somehow Iyrës is key to finally understanding his own life, and more significantly his own purpose, and he'll journey wherever Iyrës goes for answers. Threads in a very large tapestry are inter-weaving, drawing people inexorably together from across the planet: young Kiyrë, a child just entering her thirteenth aurbët, discovering abilities developing that she didn't think were even possible, nor what she really wants; her parents Zjolet and Diyal, each with their own secrets which are about to unravel; Zjuubi'iel weaving their own particular tapestry, one they've been progressing since the War of Deceptions; and Helier'Oasjaan, quietly manoeuvring events from Fathës, even as he attempts to comprehend the true intent of Zjuubi'iel and the unanswered questions of Lieoptay-Noot's Augurs. *** On Kiyron, the perpetual confrontations between the destructive manipulations of Ligil-Yabesj and the transformational will of Koazjuur'Iy rise and fall as they weave across the outer shell of Malkiyron, finally breeching the inner sanctum of Dooskiyron. Interlacing the chaos, threads of awakening may yet make a difference, if only the many disparate groups and individuals spanning the divides of time can recognise a deeper truth so heavily shrouded by the veils of their perception. Weaving through 4 different time-lines, each story interlaces with the others, as they all lead irrevocably to their own dramatic conclusion, each one changing the fate of the entire plan
