When Jorrin was a child, a star saved his life. Now he returns the favor by hiding the stars from the power-hungry Rahim Padishah, ruler of the harsh desert country of Shakaj. When his best friend is taken by the Star Hunters Jorrin must find her in five days or else risk losing her forever. But when he is branded a slave, Jorrin’s world is shaken.

After the murder of his mother by his own father Nouri Shah thinks he can keep running from his past, but when he discovers that his brother, who he had thought dead, is alive and their father has finally hunted him down, Nouri must face the past that has long haunted his nightmares.

​

Jorrin can’t escape the voice inside his head, and Nouri can’t escape the ghosts of his past. Both must work together to free the stars from the padishah’s grip or risk losing everything they hold dear, even if that means working with the traitorous Mahví Arteshbod.
