Johnson.FROM THE BOOK: I was very young when I first learned the power of a broken heart.Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, it was not my own heart that taught me this truth. My heart, after all, was already broken.And that’s why I’m here, I thought wryly, glancing up from the all- too-familiar patient room floor at Apollo City Hospital.Between the tarnished sense of sterility, its ash-colored tiles, and the dulled-white walls, I almost felt at home. In the last six years, I’d come here at least once every couple of months. Between all my visits, I had counted the cabinets along the wall countless times, even if I always forgot how many there actually were in the end.That wasn’t the only thing I’d forgotten, either. I frowned at the sudden, overwhelming scent of iodine.How long have I been sitting here, to have forgotten that?I hated that smell. It wasn’t just unpleasant in itself; it also brought up a wide array of unpleasant memories.“What is it, Raiya?”Despite my discomfort, a small, reassuring smile was already on my lips as I looked over at my grandfather. Through the loose tresses of my coppery hair, I saw him watching me with a concerned look on his face.My grandpa was a thin man, with a bushy, white beard and kind, ageless eyes. Every day since I’d finished elementary school, it seemed as though he was getting shorter as I was getting taller. As I gazed at him, taking in his plain clothes and his oversized coat, I thought how easy it would be for the average person to dismiss him, to see him as harmless and old, barely indistinguishable from any man walking in the street.Grandpa would never be that to me. No—to me, he was my hero.FROM THE AUTHOR: Welcome to the Starlight Chronicles, an epic fantasy adventure about fallen stars!
