THE ACTUAL STAR - MONICA BYRNE GEBUNDEN

David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas meets Octavia Butler's Earthseed series  as acclaimed author
Monica Byrne (The Girl in the Road) crafts an unforgettable piece of speculative fiction about
where humanity came from  where we are now  and where we're going?and how  in every age  the
same forces that drive us apart also bind us together. A stone-cold masterpiece.?New Scientist
The Actual Star takes readers on a journey over two millennia and six continents?telling three
powerful tales a thousand years apart  all of them converging in the same cave in the Belizean
jungle. Braided together are the stories of a pair of teenage twins who ascend the throne of a
Maya kingdom  a young American woman on a trip of self-discovery in Belize  and two dangerous
charismatics vying for the leadership of a new religion  racing toward a confrontation that
will determine the fate of the few humans left on Earth after massive climate change. In each
era  a reincarnated trinity of souls navigates the entanglements of tradition and progress 
sister and stranger  and love and hate?until all of their age-old questions about the nature of
existence converge deep underground  where only in complete darkness can they truly see.
