This is book three of The Meq.

For millennia, the Meq have existed side by side with humanity, dying only by extraordinary means. They appear as 12- year-old children. Five Sacred stones give a few mystical powers but not the understanding of the long destined event called the Remembering.

In the aftermath of 1945's A-bomb, Zianno Zezen finds himself alone. Over the next fifty years, he will reunite his beloved, Opari and the others. With The Remembering approaching, Z must interpret the strange writing on an ancient stone sphere and begin a journey to the truth.

This is a mesmerizing saga, an adventure with mystical overtones, an adventure with vivid characters you bond with. This is a great read I recommend highly. ~~ Pam Allan
