The Star Key

By: Wright, Daniel J.

What if the universe's only hope was a 23-year-old depressed ex-cashier... who, unbeknownst to him, had his memories willingly erased to protect the one he loves?

Endorial, a sarcastic and witty Archivist from the Grand Universe Archives, documents the bleak life of Lienad, who has nothing-no job, no family, no future- in the year 2125. But when strange phenomena begin to fracture his mundane routine-from personalized messages in the newspaper to vanishing strangers-everything changes. A beautiful mystery woman turns his life upside down when she leads him to undergo a harrowing memory restoration. Lienad reawakens the agent he once was, tied to an inter-dimensional war, forced to reckon with the reason he had his memories erased to begin with. Reunited with Arura, his soulmate, Lienad joins forces with Renka, a sarcastic tech specialist, and Captain Aero, a dramatic and egotistical pilot. Together, they must undertake a perilous journey across various planets, hostile dimensions, time, and hidden civilizations to obtain the Star Key-an artifact capable of rewriting existence. But at the edge of fate lies a final, devastating truth-one that changes everything.

The Star Key is a Young/New Adult sci-fi fantasy that blends the cosmic absurdity of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with the irreverent wit and emotional gravity of Gideon the Ninth. It is the first book in The Endorial Archives series.
