Synopsis

There is no surrendering your will without giving up your heart.Long before she took up the title of Starry Knight, Raiya Cole knew she was different. Ever since she survived the car crash that killed her parents, the truth about her supernatural powers—and her destiny as a fallen Star—shaped her life, preparing her for a battle she knew would come one day. With the help of Grandpa Odd, her beloved mentor, Raiya works to maintain control over her power and train as a Starlight Warrior.But the battle she prepared for is not the first one she must face.As her seventh grade year begins, Raiya’s resolve is put to the test when her power unexpectedly—and exponentially—grows, threatening the fragile life she has managed to build over the last six years. Can Raiya embrace a duty that demands not only her life, but her heart as well? Can she survive paying the price that comes with her power?
FROM THE BOOK: I was very young when I first learned the power of a broken heart.Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, it was not my own heart that taught me this truth. My heart, after all, was already broken.And that’s why I’m here, I thought wryly, glancing up from the all- too-familiar patient room floor at Apollo City Hospital.Between the tarnished sense of sterility, its ash-colored tiles, and the dulled-white walls, I almost felt at home. In the last six years, I’d come here at least once every couple of months. Between all my visits, I had counted the cabinets along the wall countless times, even if I always forgot how many there actually were in the end.FROM THE AUTHOR: Welcome to the Starlight Chronicles, an epic fantasy adventure about fallen stars! This is the prequel, Searching, featuring Starry Knight and her with her powers as she enters seventh grade.

I loved the entire series of the Starlight Chronicles! This was nice to see it from the other side of the two main characters through out the series. Just as beautifully and emotional racking as the rest of the series. It's not always easy to write from both sides of the story the author captured it......more
