This star shall abide
<i>Children of the Star</i> trilogy, Book One. Noren knew that his world was not as it should be—it was wrong that only the Scholars and Technicians could use metal and Machines. It was wrong that only they had access to the knowledge hidden in the mysterious City. He was a heretic. He defied the High Law and had no faith in the Prophecy’s promised fulfillment. But was defiance enough, or could some way be found to make it come true?

The UK edition appeared as <i>Heritage of the Star</i>.

A version with minor updating is included in the single-volume edition of the trilogy, <i>Children of the Star</i>.
