About This Book
Dark Star introduces Audrey Whitticomb, a seemingly ordinary girl whose mother is the renowned superhero, Morning Star. Audrey's world is turned upside down when she's attacked by a 'Harrower,' revealing a secret war against ancient, merciless beings. She soon discovers she possesses her own psychic powers, making her one of the 'Kin.' The narrative follows Audrey as she grapples with her new identity, learns to control her abilities, and navigates a dangerous plot involving a powerful Harrower masquerading as human and a potential betrayal. This action-packed urban fantasy explores themes of courage, identity, family bonds, and the fight between good and evil, making it suitable for readers aged 8-12 who enjoy superhero stories with a supernatural twist.
Audrey Whitticomb has nothing to fear. Her mother is the superhero Morning Star, the most deadly crime fighter in the Twin Cities, so its hard for Audrey not to feel safe. That is, until shes lured into the night by something human and not human--something with talons and teeth, and a wide scarlet smile.
