The wandering stars

October 13, 2026

A quest for wisdom becomes a struggle over the future of humanity.

The Moment—the brief joining of minds that awakened compassion across Bracat—is fading from memory. Some still remember, but many have forgotten, while others never experienced it at all. As old fears return, the Great Council of Wizards resumes its relentless search for the Golden Tree, while the ruthless Thurmore embraces forbidden powers in pursuit of his dream.

Haunted by the destruction he once caused, Malzus seeks redemption as he searches for the truth behind his father’s death. Elsewhere, Alitheia and Rogi, separated by distant lands yet guided by the stars, seek one another—and the Golden Tree—not for power, but for the peace that comes through true understanding.

As Thurmore’s influence spreads, two futures emerge: one built on fear, the other on compassion.

Philosophical and character driven, The Wandering Stars continues the Wanderer saga with a contemplative exploration of ambition, redemption, and the enduring struggle between domination and harmony.

The Wanderer Series

When young Asmar discovers that he is a wizard, he is taken away to the hidden city of Dolcere. But the excitement of magic dims when Asmar realizes that he’s wanted for a dangerous purpose: to retrieve the coveted golden pulcher staff from Malzus, an anarchist wizard who will stop at nothing to secure his grip on the world. Aided by a mysterious figure known only as The Wanderer, Asmar continues his quest, ultimately facing a difficult decision: should he blindly trust the wizards’ wisdom, or must he decide his own destiny?

The Wanderer is an epic fantasy series about power, bravery, and the importance of forging your own path.
