Publisher's Synopsis
Meet thirteen-year-old Sarah Starbright, who lives with her mom, Hana, and her cat, Sir Perity. Her ability to see magic where others are unable has made for a lonely existence and one where she does not fit in with her classmates. Overnight, Sarah learns of her true origins. She is the Starchild, birthed from a mystical portal, and destined to save the Ancient Forest – the guardian of the Karrian Galaxy, in its darkest hour of need. As Sarah struggles to grow into her magic in time to complete her life’s purpose, she is hunted by another race of beings who wish to turn her magic toward the dark. Can Sarah stand true to who she is and fulfil her destiny as the Starchild of Atarashara? Will the mythical creatures that she had previously only dreamed of in her imagination, give their very lives to help her?
Take a journey with Sarah and her unique blend of magical guardians who become her closest friends and allies.
“It’s an imaginative story about a young girl’s journey discovering herself and who she can be against all odds with the help of her family, friends, and magical creatures. I could definitely relate to the main character and the idea of being different and not like everyone else. This story reminded me that each of us is special in our own right and that we all have somewhere to belong.” Jenny Story, Bestselling fantasy author of Dysnomia
“I spent a week with Louise in Mexico when she attended my writers retreat to work on her novel. I don’t usually publish fantasy books, but this book came to life with magic, and I experienced the characters even before they appeared on the written page I had not yet read. I took that as a sign that I was destined to help Louise bring this magic to the world, and so I took on real magic again for only the second time out of 150 non-fiction books.” Julie Salisbury, TEDX speaker, author and publisher.
