The Libri GmbH The Chronicles of Cork: The Quest for the Book of Light: 1

When the world falls into darkness, truth doesn't disappear.
It waits to be found.Cork never expected to be brave. When everything he knows is torn apart, survival becomes the only goal-until he stumbles into a hidden refuge beneath the earth. There, among stone corridors and quiet lantern light, Cork discovers a community living differently. They do not hide from the darkness. They endure it. They question it. And they believe there is still Light.As Cork begins to feel safe for the first time since the world broke, unsettling questions surface. What is truth? Why does it cost so much? And why do some voices promise peace without asking anything in return?When danger infiltrates the refuge and everything Cork depends on is shaken again, he is forced to confront a choice no one can make for him. Belief is no longer just an idea-it becomes a path. One that requires courage, surrender, and trust when answers are incomplete.At the heart of the refuge lies an ancient secret known as the Book of Light. And at the center of Cork's journey is a question every reader must face alongside him: Will you cling to what feels safe-or follow the truth, even when it demands everything?A story of faith without force, truth without shortcuts, and hope that shines brightest in the darkest places, this novel blends epic storytelling with deep emotional honesty. Written for middle-grade readers but meaningful for all ages, it invites readers into a world where belief is formed not by explanation, but by experience.This is not a story about having all the answers.
It is a story about learning whom to trust when you don't.Book One of an unfolding journey.
