Möbius: The Story of the Eighth Stone, is an epic fantasy‑adventure for age
14+. It is the second book in the Ocellus Series although set many thousands
of years before the events recorded in Ocellus, The Story of the Twelfth Stone.
Amber, a feisty and resourceful girl of 15, leads a simple life in her remote village
within the forest principality of the planet Splenem. While climbing to the top of a tree as
a dare, she finds a glassy-black, oval-shaped stone with a Möbius ribbon engraved on one
face. Wondering who would hide such a stone high in a tree, she takes it. After climbing
down, she is confronted by Septies, a friendly alien who says he has searched for the
Möbius stone for trillions of years. He tells her evil shapeshifters (the KimMorii) stole
and hid the stone and will know it has been discovered. He warns her the KimMorii will soon
invade and if they take the stone from her by force, she will die.
Although Amber is willing to give the stone to Septies, he says he cannot yet take it back
to his universe. Instead, he tells Amber she must secretly take the stone to Eldern Castle,
the Splenem capital. Amber reluctantly sets off into a terrifying world of dark forests,
gruesome beasts, giant castles, and flying horses. At Eldern Castle she becomes close
friends with other young messengers. Here they are taught close-combat fighting and how to
deploy telepathy in battle. She develops a close relationship with Peol, the brother of a
messenger, which causes friction within the group.
Will Amber's wit, guile, and fighting skills be enough to save her from the KimMorii? Can
she and Peol guard Möbius until Septies can retrieve it?
Möbius is huge in scope and deep in emotion and takes the reader into alternative
universes, dramatic battles, and doomed relationships.
