Description

Gothic fairy tales meet South Asian myths and legends in this exciting new middle grade novel, set in a magical world inspired by Bengali folklore.

Aya has been fascinated by the stars ever since she can remember. But never in her wildest imagination did she expect to get struck by one and develop powers beyond her control.

When the evil Abnus takes over the region of Alferra in search of power, Aya quickly learns there is a great darkness afoot. Can she learn to control her burgeoning magic and keep her friends and family safe before it's too late?

Author Radiya Hafiza puts brown girls centre stage in this epic middle grade fantasy, with gorgeous black and white illustrations by Kaley McKean.
