A quiet girl.
A mysterious boy.
A secret written in the stars.
Aria Damian thought her life would always stay painfully ordinary - endless homework, constant boredom, and a mother who kept far too many secrets. But everything changes when Nova Kai moves in next door. He's polite, awkward, strangely mysterious... and definitely not from Earth.
What begins with strange languages and glowing wardrobes quickly spirals into something far bigger: hidden alien kingdoms, royal betrayals, ancient prophecies, portals between worlds, and truths powerful enough to shatter everything Aria thought she knew about herself.
As Aria and Nova are pulled deeper into the breathtaking world of Trina, they uncover a connection between their families that was buried for years - one filled with love, lies, heartbreak, and destiny. But with enemies closing in and the past refusing to stay hidden, the two best friends must discover who they truly are before everything falls apart.
Funny, emotional, magical, and full of chaos, When Nova Moved In is a story about identity, forgiveness, friendship... and finding home in the most unexpected places.
Written by 13-year-old author Manahil Idrees.
The universe may be vast... but home is wherever you finally feel seen.
