Searching for Maia (Peaks Saga)

Ginna and Danny have been back from the future for almost three years, but things are falling apart for them again. Then time-travelers Jon and Jael arrive with a big surprise, taking them into their parallel universe and their own personal lives--where Jon, Jael, and Martina are out of choices. As they flee their homes on planet Terres, they are told to search for a mysterious planet called Maia. But no one seems to know where it is, or if it even exists.

As they travel through uncharted space, they encounter many ways of life, but none of them seems to provide any of the answers they seek. And they aren't the only ones looking for it. The longer they search, the more they encounter mysterious dark forces and threats. As the truth of these forces and their schemes unfold, the trio falls into a deadly struggle for their very lives. They begin to wonder if their journey will ever reach an end, or if the journey itself is the only thing that is real.

Through a chance encounter with a faction of Galactic Rebels, they finally reach a planet called Earth that isn't on any of the star charts. Could this be the mysterious Maia? Yet things are not at all what they expected. Martina begins to struggle with ghosts from her past and new desires that threaten her carefully reconstructed life. Will her relationship with Jon, or with her brother Jael, survive?

"I remember fondly reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe when I was in middle school. The Peaks at the Edge of the World has a similar mix of fantasy and adventure with a moral tale at its center. This is a book that's appropriate for a younger audience than most sci fi/fantasy novels. Enjoy the read!" --Kathy Dunnehoff, Zola Award-winning Women's Fiction Writer

What would life be like for a tiny remnant who are severely persecuted, and trying to cling to 'Old Ways?'
