The Lumen Seed · Book 2
The Descent
Coming-of-age SF
The grief did not leave — Raiden simply grew large enough to carry it. Picking up in the aftermath of Book One, The Descent pulls Raiden deeper into the world he never asked to join, where every answer costs something and the people he's learned to trust may not survive what's coming. The stakes rise, the mystery of the Lumen Seed sharpens, and the choices get harder. The gripping middle volume of the Origin Trilogy. (Read Book One first.)
