War has torn Ian's world apart. His family is gone, his planet is burning — and no one knows why. With nothing left to lose, he joins Nea, a fearless pilot driven by unshakeable faith, on a desperate mission across the galaxy. Their destination: Earth. Their goal: find the one being said to hold the power to end the war. But the universe is far darker — and far more dangerous — than either of them ever imagined. And the answers, it turns out, may lie beneath the streets of Turin — one of Europe's most ancient and mysterious cities, long said to sit at the crossroads of the occult. Terra et Aer is a gripping interstellar adventure that works on two levels: a fast-paced space odyssey on the surface, and a deeper story about freedom, hidden truths, and the courage to see reality as it truly is. For readers who love the epic themes of Dune and the profound humanism of Le Guin. --- Honors and Awards for the Original Italian Version: ⭐ Finalist among 231 works — International Award "Autori Italiani" 2026 (Italy). ⭐ Title selected and exposed at the Self Publisher bookstore at the Turin International Book Fair (Italy) in 2025 (Salone del Libro, XXXVII edition). ⭐ Finalist — National Argentario 2025 & Caravaggio Award (Italy). 🏆 Best narrative structure — International Italy Book Award “Di Terrore, di Mistero e di altri racconti” (Of Terror, of Mystery and Other Tales) - 2025. --- What Italian readers are saying: "A sci-fi novel that surprises and captivates, blending adventure, introspection and social commentary into one powerful narrative… A book that goes beyond entertainment to reveal universal meaning." — Cenerelia (Italian book reviewer) "A universe that speaks of war, power and manipulation without ever losing sight of the human element: friendship, the need to believe in something, the fear of discovering that the 'saviour' may not exist as we imagined." — loveofbooks (Italian book reviewer) "A unique adventure.
