Books in The YaraStar Trilogy series

Winner of the 2019 CODE Burt Award for Caribbean Young Adult Literature "An engrossing sci-fi/fantasy that breathes new life into old tropes." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "What an enjoyable read. 'The Unmarked Girl' is a book that excites the imagination and keeps you eager to explore its many twists and turns. A well-crafted story set in a fantasy world, which can easily be interpreted as an allegory about our contemporary world. I look forward to the next saga in the trilogy." — Tim Reid, Filmmaker/Actor Unlike everyone else on Mira, Yara has no birthline markings. She was found as a baby by a Photak and taken to the Photak village, despite how strange she looked. With an unknown origin, unmarked skin, and unusual features, the Elders were extremely wary that the baby could be a secret weapon of the Skotads. Mysteriously, however, Yara could withstand the rays of Sunstar, which no Skotad ever could. She was allowed to stay. Sixteen years later, still without any clues to her origins, Yara is training to be a warrior for the Photak Tribe. Now, an eerie, soft voice begins to haunt her dreams. It asks only one question every time: "YaraStar... do you know who you are?" *** Book One of the YaraStar Trilogy, The Unmarked Girl, comes with a gift: Immerse yourself in the fantastical Sounds of Mira, the music album for the YaraStar Trilogy, composed and produced by Borderless Music Group. The first two tracks were created directly from Yara's world. Look out for more songs from the album - they will be released with Books Two and Three.Feel free to listen, as you read, to the Photak flutes and the Gem Glass Drums of Mira.

Does it represent who she is meant to become? Unfortunately, she has no time for second-guessing: she has to carry out a grave, urgent duty to her planet, one that some believe should not be her job. And that's only the start. Yara found clues to her origins, but nobody will tell her where she came from, or who her parents were. With secrets that run so deeply, trust is an exquisite luxury—one Yara may not be able to afford. Does she have what it takes to face the darkest truth of her existence?

Have her enemies covered all their tracks? Can she uncover enough to stop their plans? And can she do it before an even deadlier danger emerges? Is she ready to trust in the unknown without restraint?
