Starsight

All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot, just like her father, and proving herself as a hero. After a gruelling journey to reach the skies, she discovers heartbreaking truths about her father's legacy. The rumours of his cowardice are, in fact, true; he deserted his flight during a critical battle against the Krell and even turned against his own team.

Despite these revelations, Spensa refuses to accept the story at face value. She believes there's more to uncover about her father's betrayal, fearing that the same fate might await her in her own starship. Upon breaching the protective shell of her planet, she hears the whispers of the stars—a daunting and terrifying experience. The knowledge she gains shatters her understanding of everything she has been taught. The foundation of her world is built on lies.

Determined and resilient, Spensa learns critical truths about herself that fuel her resolve. She is prepared to journey to the ends of the galaxy, if necessary, to save humankind. With newfound understanding and an ironclad will, Spensa begins a daring quest filled with danger, discovery, and the relentless pursuit of the truth.
