Hal Adhil and Miri Rodgers are best friends. They spend their days working at a small observatory tucked away in the Starfall Mountains just beyond the metropolis of Anduruna. Miri is the only person Hal trusts to understand a dangerous secret… Hal can see things no one else can; he can see all wavelengths of light. Under cover of darkness and shrouded in secrecy, Hal uses his superpower only when they are free from prying eyes that could report them to the authorities.

The lives of Hal and Miri quickly change one night, however, when a meteor crashes into the nearby mountains. When they set out to retrieve the fallen star, it quickly becomes apparent that things are not what they seem. What at first glance appeared to be an ordinary meteor is in fact a strange and mysterious power source that Hal and Miri are not the only ones looking for. Dangerous and deadly people will do anything to claim this find for their own, and poor Miri gets caught in the crosshairs.

In order to rescue his closest companion, Hal must not only unravel a mystery that has eluded his people for ages, but also face unsavory characters from his own past. Can Hal, The Wayward Astronomer, harness his supernatural powers to rescue his friend before time runs out?
