Awakenings Derek Stirling Kerr

Volume 1 - Book 1 of the Tr Halsien Zjeur
A Kiyron Novel
AN ALLIANCE OF THREE
The first in a gargantuan series of books spanning millennia. *** "Let me focus this story upon but a few threads of the vast tapestry that is the world I know. Let me focus upon Tr Halsien Zjeur: The Three Augured Climacterics."
Asju: Kkombinaar Yathesj to the Pire Ipre Nestled in Ristiek's lower mountains, Lieoptay-Noot, Nktliflë Seer to his people, friend and student of Iyrës, the not-yet-born Kajin Rabiel, foretells a multitude of events that will shape the future of Malkiyron and Dooskiyron, the outer and inner worlds of Kiyron. His cryptic prophecies include the Tr Halsien Zjeur. In the 1st Augured Climacteric, the War of Deceptions has arrived, the Central Kalayvyen States conquering one nation after another with ruthless efficiency. The outcome appears unstoppable and catastrophic. Zarith Gavet, a renowned seer with some powerful allies, may be Malkiyron's only hope for salvation. But only if he can utilise every resource at his disposal: Helier'Oasjaan, his most reliable android colleague and friend; Mumbles, the mysterious Ristiekaan Ninuuk, with a fondness for some of his most gifted students; and especially the talents of all the very unique students within Sjaarkrom Institute's Academy, all being groomed to put every meta skill they have and every other skill they learn, to full use across the planet. Three of those students are becoming increasingly important: twin sister and brother, Bisel and Padran, each developing at levels never before seen; and Koarvel, the Academy's newest recruit, with abilities that are virtually unknown, even to himself, and yet to be fully determined. But there's an unknown force at work, with incredible resources. They want the twins, dead if necessary. They know how to breach the Institute's defenses. They know how to control a person's mind. And they know how to kill with lethal brutality. In order to stop them, in order to even survive, Bisel and Padran must put aside their own growing differences and learn who these people are. And tied inextricably to that is a repeating question: "What is the meaning of 'SE'?" *** On Kiyron, the perpetual confrontations between the destructive manipulations of Ligil-Yabesj and the transformational will of Koazjuur'Iy rise and fall as they weave across the outer shell of Malkiyron, finally breeching the inner sanctum of Dooskiyron. Interlacing the chaos, threads of awakening may yet make a difference, if only the many disparate groups and individuals spanning the divides of time can recognise a deeper truth so heavily shrouded by the veils of their perception. Weaving through 4 different time-lines, each story interlaces with the others, as they all lead irrevocably to their own dramatic conclusion, each one changing the fate of the entire planet.
