About the Book
Children of the Star trilogy, Book Two. Once Noren gained admission to the City where technology was hidden, he thought he had discovered how to make metal and Machines available to everyone and end the rule of the Scholars. But he soon learned it was not as simple as he had believed. Was it right to let people go on believing in the promises of a Prophecy that might not come true after all?
This is the second book of the Children of the Star trilogy. It is preceded by This Star Shall Abide (issued in the UK under the title Heritage of the Star) and followed by The Doors of the Universe. These books were originally published in hardcover by Atheneum as Young Adult fiction, although unlike This Star Shall Abide, this one is rarely of interest to readers below high school age. In 2000 the entire trilogy was republished as adult science fiction in one volume under the title Children of the Star.
