Cyanos: The Three

When thirteen-year-old Jaak leaves the city to live with his father in a remote northern valley, he feels completely out of place. The internet doesn't work, the toilets don't flush, the winters are harsh, and the traditions of the valley seem a world away from everything he has ever known.

But the valley turns out to hold more than he expected. He befriends Tag, a small, shirtless tinkerer with a genius for machines — and when his irrepressible hunde best friend Dieter comes out from the city to join him, the unlikeliest of guests in a valley wary of his kind, the three boys become inseparable. Watching over them is Layan, an eccentric old engineer who seems to know far more than he lets on.

What begins as a story about friendship, family, and finding where you belong gradually unfolds into a much larger mystery. Hidden beneath the mountains and woven through the history of the planet Cyanos are secrets waiting to be uncovered — secrets that may change everything.

Warm, funny, and full of heart, Cyanos: The Three is an adventure about courage, community, and the extraordinary things that can happen when three friends stand together.
