Far in the future, earth has split apart into thousands of islands dangling between the stars. Privateers search for relics, artifacts, and manuscripts that were lost when the earth split, ships sail the stars like they once sailed oceans, and banished Olde Beings lurk in the Mysts between the islands. Welcome to the broken world. Stuck in steerage on the maiden voyage of the luxury airship the Halthow, sixteen-year-old 'Anya Marcox' is determined to make her brother happy by accepting the fate their dead father used to recite to her like a prayer: average lives for average girls. But when an encounter with a dashing stranger lands Anya in the middle of a cutthroat race to find a relic that could change the fate of the islands, average is no longer an option. Compelled by the whispering of the stars that have always promised her something more, Anya finds herself secretly working as a privateer"and falling for her partner in crime. But her treasure hunt through the stars soon turns deadly: the nightmares are getting worse . . . and Anya is beginning to wonder if they're more than just dreams. The fantasy YA novel is slated for an April 4^th release through DartFrog books. The saga is one that she would love to eventually adapt into a series for television or film.
