For fans of Star Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Skyward - epic adventure, extraordinary powers, and heroes who discover there's far more to them than they ever imagined.
One accidental jump. The far side of the galaxy. No way home.
When armed mercenaries attack their archaeological dig in the jungles of Central America, Casey and James Hawkins and their friend Heather flee into the jungle - and stumble upon a secret that has been buried for centuries: a sleek, obsidian alien spacecraft that no one was ever supposed to find.
In a desperate attempt to escape, Casey triggers the ship's controls.
One heartbeat later, they're on the other side of the galaxy.
The ship they've accidentally commandeered is the legendary Shaina Ariana - the most advanced, most coveted vessel in the known universe. A powerful emperor has spent years consolidating power across star systems, building a galactic empire on blood and buried secrets. He'll do anything to claim it. He'll offer alliance. Then treachery. Then chains.
Casey didn't come to this side of the galaxy looking for a fight. But he won't leave without his crew - and he's not handing over the ship.
Outrunning one emperor is only the beginning.
Shape-shifting assassins, alien planet discoveries, ancient alien technology, and a galactic conflict on the brink of ignition - somehow, two brothers and the friend who has always been family are the only ones positioned to stop it. Armed with little more than their wits, each other, and a legendary sword with a power all its own, this unlikely crew must outmaneuver an entire empire to survive.
This is sci-fi action adventure at its most epic - a fast-paced interstellar adventure for teen and young adult readers who want a universe they can get completely lost in.
Getting home has never felt so impossible. Saving the galaxy was never part of the plan.
