Publisher Description

"Matt Wright has crafted an expansive universe in his Sun Maker saga. Mirroring the struggles we face in our culture today, Matt has carved his path of truth through adversity - with a resonant paradigm of the importance of the choices his characters make!

Their world is dying. Rich Wardens hold all the power. The Ruin hangs over them.

 

Six-hundred years ago, their planet faced absolute destruction. Now, the remnants of a dying civilization risk annihilation once more as they confront their captor, Vidikas the Ruin Star.

 

Gun's Journey: When a young boy named Gun meets an oathbreaker and a drunken scholar, his life changes forever. Driven from his desert town, he must find his place in the city while a revolution brews around him.

 

Aithen's Dilemma: Aithen saves a Warden's life and is thrust into a world of privilege and expectation. As he grapples with his new role, he must decide whether to embrace the military might of the Wardens or forge his own path.

 

A World on the Brink: The oppressive Wardens control everything, and the Ruin Star casts a dark shadow over their world. As unrest grows and war looms closer, Gun and Aithen must confront their deepest fears and highest hopes to change the fate of their world.

 

Join the revolution: Packed with intricate world-building, intense action, and profound philosophical questions, Ruin Star is a must-read for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Frank Herbert, and Pierce Brown. Prepare to be enthralled by this dark and gritty sci-fi adventure as it explores the depths of the human spirit in a bleak future where hope is the most precious resource of all.
