The Stargazers
Attending an elite NASA training program, the American Space Academy, Julia Mastroff, Ky Nolan, Natalie Díaz, and Milo Fry are invited to be the newest members of The Stargazers Project, a top secret program that creates working teenage astronauts.
On a test mission, The Stargazers’s space shuttle is sucked into a portal and they crash on a magical planet with a past of its own. Now stranded somewhere in the universe and threatened by fae hunters, unidentified creatures, and secrets beyond their imagination, they must find a way to survive or a way to get back home.
But it gets even more complicated when Julia is saved by a Luarian hunter and she discovers she has magical abilities she did not possess before. With love entanglements and betrayals, The Stargazers must survive the creatures hunting them and unravel the mystery of the truth behind The Stargazers Project. Julia can’t and won’t leave Luella until she finds out exactly what her destiny is.
