Two brothers, one prophesied for greatness, one unworthy of a gift. Both must face a cataclysmic event that could wipe out not just their herd but all life as they know it. As the days grow darker and the impending danger is upon them, the Stargazers have reason for hope in young Bravehorn—the one deemed the Chosen One. But they are not the only herd who knows about the prophecy. Dark forces have their own plans for him, and Bravehorn soon learns that life as the Chosen One is not all fun and games. While his older brother struggles with living in his shadow, he struggles with the responsibility of his new acclaim. One he’s not sure he wants anymore. Both brothers will have their loyalty and faith tested in a battle as old as time—light versus dark, good versus evil—as each discovers the true meaning of sacrifice. ***This story is a captivating blend of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure.
