Shveta Thakrar's prose is as beautiful as starlight.--New York Times bestselling author Holly Black
This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman's Stardust and a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy.
The daughter of a star and a mortal, Sheetal is used to keeping secrets. Pretending to be normal. But when an accidental flare of her starfire puts her human father in the hospital, Sheetal needs a full star's help to heal him. A star like her mother, who returned to the sky long ago.
Sheetal's quest to save her father will take her to a celestial court of shining wonders and dark shadows, where she must take the stage as her family's champion in a competition to decide the next ruling house of the heavens--and win, or risk never returning to Earth at all.
Brimming with celestial intrigue, this sparkling YA debut is perfect for fans of Roshani Chokshi and Laini Taylor.
- Daughter of a Star: Sheetal has always hidden her silver hair and the fire in her blood. But when a magical accident puts her father's life on the line, she has no choice but to embrace her celestial heritage.
- A World of Hindu Mythology: Journey from modern-day New Jersey to Svargalok, a celestial court of shining wonders, dark shadows, and ancient gods, inspired by a breathtaking landscape of Hindu myths.
- A High-Stakes Celestial Trial: To save her father, Sheetal must become her family's champion in a dangerous tournament. If she loses, she may never see Earth again.
- Star-Crossed Romance: Back on Earth, a boy with a secret of his own is winning Sheetal's heart. But a journey to the heavens puts more than just distance between them.
