In a world where stars are alive, sing, and glow, a greedy young fisherman fished them right out of the sky... and the world changed forever.
Stars were enslaved, chained to carriages and machines, whipped into obedience, and forced to power the kingdom of Starodell.
His daughter Shanuka grew up as the greatest Starboarder alive, surfing the skies on enslaved stars and racing straight into the galaxy.
But when her wild adventures lead her into deadly alien attacks, disgusting swamp monsters, and a cursed planet about to explode, she makes promises she never intends to keep.
The stars revolt, the sky darkens, and the kingdom falls into chaos.
Can Shanuka learn the cost of broken promises before it’s too late—or will her selfish greed destroy everything?
A thrilling, funny, and emotional space fairy tale of dazzling adventure, terrifying monsters, wild inventions, betrayal, rebellion, and redemption.
