Publisher's Summary

This is a special edition with a musical interlude after Part One and music at the end of the story. Each song is its own chapter and can be safely skipped without missing out on any of the book content.

It's 2090: The last outpost of freedom is the moon, the best defense against technology is magic, and the only hope for humankind rests in the hands of the Star Children.

Twins Cassidy and Torr must save Earth from a ruthless enemy at a time when the only force more powerful than alien technology is magic. Moon Deeds launches the siblings' journey across the galaxy, where they must learn their power as the Star Children, claim their shamanic heritage, and battle dark forces that threaten humankind.

The Star Children Saga follows Cassidy and Torr as they slowly awaken to their destiny as the twin Star Children, born every millennium to reconnect with the source of all life. They come to discover the sheer enormity of their task: to find our ancestors on a lost planet across the galaxy and save humanity from a spiraling descent into darkness. The powers they must wield to accomplish this task are truly frightening and put at risk everything they love.

Come along with 20-year-old twins Cassidy and Torr, who inherited deeds to land parcels on the moon. They want to use their moon deeds to get off Earth and escape a brutal dictatorship. But first they must unlock their shaman powers.

A rollicking yet poignant adventure in the not too distant future, when we have colonized the moon and nearly lost Earth to a dictatorship. Only the shamans remain free, plus the lucky ones who escaped to the moon.

Join the adventure! An addictive space opera, science-fantasy series.

Great Story!

I was not sure at first that I could get into this book, but a couple of chapters in I was hooked. The story is fantastic! With the conclusion of each chapter, I could hardly wait for the next. It took me a Chapter or so to get used to and comfortable with the narration. The voice of the narrator is different than other audible books I have listened to. I actually grew to love her voice, with one exception. The voice used for Cassidy was a nasally, whining voice that bothered me every time she spoke. Cassidy is a main character and should sound confident, feminine and strong; however, it was really annoying. Again I would like to reiterate that the narration of every other remaining character was spot on! The other thing I did not particularly enjoy, was the music between Part One, Part Two, and at the end of the book. It was too long. Honestly, I skipped through the longest musical interlude at the very end after the interview with Palmer Pickering. By the way, I loved the interview with Palmer. That was a very nice touch! I can hardly wait to begin with Book Two!! At the possibility of sounding negative, I hope The voice of Cassidy sounds more confident in Book Two.

Unexpected, captivating

Of all places to find a home...the moon. An adventure, an escape from authorities, a world on the brink of being completely overtaken, and only one place left to find a home. Throw in kidnapping, treachery, deceit, and a mix of characters and you have a very good book. Nina Price narrated this gem, and brought it to life. Well done.
