“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.
