Old ways are pitted against new horrors in this compellingly crafted, “atmospherically beautiful” (Kirkus Reviews) dystopian tale about a girl who is both healer and seer. Two hundred years from now, blood has become the most valuable commodity on the planet—especially the blood of aboriginal peoples, for it contains antibodies that protect them from the Plague ravaging the rest of the world. Sixteen-year-old Cassandra Mercredi might be immune to the Plague, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe—government forces are searching for those of aboriginal heritage to harvest their blood. When a search threatens Cassandra and her family, they flee to the Island: a mysterious and idyllic territory protected by the Band, a group of guerilla warriors—and by an enigmatic energy barrier that keeps outsiders out and the spirit world in. And though the village healer has taken her under her wing, and the tribal leader’s son into his heart, the creatures of the spirit world are angry, and they have chosen Cassandra to be their voice and instrument... Incorporating the traditions of the First Peoples as well as the more familiar stories of Greek mythology and Arthurian legend, Shadows Cast by Stars is a haunting, beautifully written story that breathes new life into ancient customs.

The highly anticipated metaphysical standalone from International Amazon Bestselling Author Kristen Martin The night sky holds more mystery than every continent on Earth combined-at least that's what thirty-three-year-old Elara Friis believes. And why wouldn't she, when she's been named after one of Jupiter's many moons? A long-time assistant to astrophysicist Professor Haven at the University of Colorado Boulder, Elara's unexpected change in employment status couldn't come at a worse time. Even more unnerving is the sudden disappearance of her professor just minutes after their last conversation-not to mention the fact that she's somehow traveled four days into the future . . . with no recollection of those days' events. As more professors begin to go missing and the police begin to ask questions, there's yet another unexpected development in Elara's life: one that goes by the name of Xero Sivalla. A fellow assistant at the university, Xero seems to have inside knowledge on not only the growing number of faculty disappearances, but on Elara herself. As Elara spends more time with Xero, the more she discovers just how wrong her assumptions about life, the cosmos, and existence itself have been. Blurring the lines of reality is one thing, but cracking the entire Universe wide open? She should be so lucky-that is, unless it's been predestined from the start.
