For fans of time travel science fantasy and magical ballet worlds...
Brielle AsTar is no ordinary teenager. As the youngest VarTerel-a mystical guardian with reality-bending powers-she's accustomed to danger. But when three Corps Stones are stolen and hidden in 1969 Manhattan, Brielle faces her most perilous mission yet. These ancient crystals are no mere jewels: they hold planets, solar systems, and galaxies in perfect cosmic alignment. Without them, the entire Clenaba Rolas Solar System will tear itself apart.
A dangerous masquerade in the world of professional ballet...
Disguised as ballet prodigy Rayna Deejara, Brielle must maintain her cover while infiltrating the School of American Ballet. Alongside lighting designer Es n, gifted musician Torgin, and resourceful street kid Gar, she navigates pirouettes and pas de deux while searching for crystals that could save-or destroy-everything she loves.
A race against cosmic collapse...
As rehearsals for the new ballet Gems approach opening night time is running out. The stones could be anywhere-hidden in costumes, tucked away in dressing rooms, or locked in the theater's shadowy depths.
