Following a momentous journey across space, two groups of Helvenans are locked in a struggle for survival on the strange, virgin planet they have named Kelanni.
Their long journey over, the exiles must now carve out a new existence. But the stain of war still blights the two factions - the hubbers with their strict caste system, now enforced by the new, fearsome keltar in their flying cloaks, and the free community of rimmers. On an alien world beset by unknown dangers and complex life forms they must find a way to come together...or be destroyed.

“Whiteway masterfully connects the ancient beginnings of the Kelanni with the first three books, using the struggles of Zemira, who wishes to outwit mighty Ash and cast down the caste system he created. His descriptions of how “lodestone” is used in flight show an understanding of physics and three-dimensional combat which are both rare gems in science fiction. After reading number five, this reviewer eagerly awaits the next.” Terence P Ward, Allbooks Review.
“The characters are really the heart and soul in this book but they are matched by an excellent storyline, an intense plot that makes it a multi-layered read. “ Annette Young - The Creative Competitor
“I really loved this book and its characters. I must admit after reading the first four books in the Lodestone series, I wondered if the author could make the fifth book better than the others. I was really surprised to find the fifth book was just as interesting if not better than the first four.
“This book left me wanting to read more. I sincerely hope the author takes us on another journey soon. Excellent book and series.” Sandra Heptinstall - Midwest Book Review
