A Song of Sparrows and Starlight

By Pearl Z. Armeni

Fourteen-year-old Star Lionheart is doomed-and there's no doubt about it.

After years of waiting for The Helios Project, her one-way ticket to making a name for herself in the isolating Galilei Space Facility, her world explodes-literally. An attack on her home shatters everything, leaving her barely alive and fleeing with her childhood best friend, Drake. Left only with a cryptic final message from her parents, Star is desperate to uncover the truth they died for, until she meets a strange boy who claims to be a walking encyclopaedia of all her answers.

He belongs to an ancient elite order sworn to protect the universe and its planetary kingdoms. But a centuries-old prophecy foretells a darkness greater than any before and the attack on Star's home was only the beginning. Caught between the search for answers and the fight for survival, Star uncovers vengeful plots, long-buried secrets, and truths about not just the universe, but also herself.
