"Darkness Stirring"
Book 1
On the planet Kammilonn, homeworld of the Antarian people, the second child of Administrator Kylen Varien and Lady Anna Varien is born. The circumstances of this birth thrust Kylen into the strange world of his wife’s people, the Starchildren, Elvin refugees with an alien social structure, powerful ancient gods, and science so advanced it seems like magic. It is only then he learns of Anna’s true place among her people and the role their newborn son, Leeander, must consequently serve.
When Kylen returns to the familiar world of parsec administration and sector court society, he hopes for a return to normalcy as well, but it is not to be. Reckless scientists conducting dangerous experiments with time, a murder investigation close to home, and visiting officials from off-planet all vie for Kylen’s attention as a parsec administrator and as a once-leading researcher of temporal physics. Even more concerning, however, is his son. Keep Reading…

Kammilonn: Cradle of intelligent life in the Antaria system.
The 'Big World,' 'Maytrah’s Menagerie,' and the 'Crown Jewel,' are only a few of its more colorful names. It is the defacto hub of the empire of the Antarian people, the Seat of the High Council, and the center of the Antarian Sphere.
It is the middle of the three planets occupying the star Antaria’s life-zone, the inner being Androsia, and the outer the water world of Yearay.
Kammilonn has two moons, those being Keinarr, the Mother Moon, and Ariss, the Daughter Moon. Keinarr is the larger and further away of the two, has a thin atmosphere, barely enough to breathe. She has a pale, rocky, and dusty surface, and circles Kammilonn once per lunar cycle. Ariss is roughly a third the size of Keinarr, is closer to the planet, and is composed of a blue-green, granite-like rock. She circles Kammilonn twice per lunar cycle.
