Shatter the Stars

By Melissa Beaty

From an award-recognized speculative fiction author comes the first book in a gripping YA sci-fi/fantasy adventure series...

She should be dead.

When a ruthless killer targets her home planet, seventeen-year-old Linuka Hinlo is left alone among the ruins-grieving and desperate for answers. Determined to find the one responsible, she sets out across the stars, chasing a threat she barely understands.

But the universe is far stranger than she imagined.

A relentless alien prince with the power to shift through space forces himself into her mission, while a secretive statesman with abilities that defy logic may be the key to the one who destroyed her world.

As their paths collide, Linuka uncovers a terrifying truth: her planet was not the target-it was only the beginning.

She must uncover who-and what-she truly is... before another world shatters.
