Description

Star Daughter has been chosen as a 2020 Kids’ Indie Next pick, a Locus Reading List recommendation, and an Andre Norton Nebula Award Finalist.

“Shveta Thakrar's prose is as beautiful as starlight.”—New York Times bestselling author Holly Black

This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust with a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy.

The daughter of a star and a mortal, Sheetal is used to keeping secrets and pretending to be "normal". However, an accidental flare of her starfire puts her human father in the hospital, and Sheetal needs a full star’s help to heal him. A star like her mother, who returned to the sky long ago.

Sheetal’s quest to save her father takes her to a celestial court of shining wonders and dark shadows. Here, she must take the stage as her family’s champion in a competition to decide the next ruling house of the heavens—and win, or risk never returning to Earth at all.

Brimming with celestial intrigue, this sparkling YA debut is perfect for fans of Roshani Chokshi and Laini Taylor.
