Description:

The first Priscilla Hutchins novel!

Humans call them the Monument-Makers. An unknown race, they left stunning alien statues on distant planets in the galaxy. Each relic is different. Each inscription defies translation. Yet all are heartbreakingly beautiful.

And for planet Earth, on the brink of disaster, they may hold the only key to survival for the entire human race.

In the late 2100s, scientists are still trying to unravel the mystery behind a group of 14 statues found among the stars. On an epic journey that covers four planets, a group of archeologists uncovers ruins that offer clues to the builders' identity and follows them to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
