SYNOPSIS:
The Asherah has finally reached Zehava, the long-promised planet. There, Terra finds harsh conditions and a familiar foe—Aleksandra Wolff, leader of her ship’s rebel forces. Terra and Aleksandra first lock horns with each other . . . but soon realize they face a much more dangerous enemy in violent alien beasts—and alien hunters.

Then Terra finally discovers Vadix. The boy who has haunted her dreams may be their key to survival—but his own dark past has yet to be revealed. And when Aleksandra gets humanity expelled from the planet, it’s up to Terra, with Vadix by her side, to unite her people—and to forge an alliance with the alien hosts, who want nothing more than to see humanity gone forever.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?
If you enjoyed James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ film or the “Across the Universe” series by Beth Revis, then this one has already caught your attention. If it hasn’t, then let us entice you with destined, perfect love and a female protagonist who goes for what she wants no matter what. Hooked? We thought you would be!

The cover has an untamed wilderness theme going on—and apparently skinny jeans are still a thing in the future. The triple moons in the red sky, however, settle this book firmly in the science fiction shelves.

Author Phoebe North made her debut with the first novel in this series, “Starglass”. She says she draws inspiration from authors such as Margaret Atwood, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Madeleine L’Engle, so we know she’s starting from some good stock! Pick up the first in this series, and then checkout Terra’s continuing adventure!

EARLY REVIEWS SAY…
As an insecure teen who grows into a leader, Terra’s a character with strength and agency. (Kirkus Reviews)

…Terra—as thorny, impulsive, and strong-willed as ever—remains a magnetic protagonist, and Vadix’s civilization is nearly as fascinating as the culturally Jewish society of the Asherah. (Publishers Weekly)
