 A beautiful black woman with shimmery brown skin holds a dancer's pose. The background has a galaxy style. Her dress is sparkling and white. She has blue and purple surrounding her.

Does anyone else buy books for their gorgeous covers?

And she starts to hear voices in her head.

Distraught over her condition, she flees to the village where her Rare Indigo predecessor, Ahonotay, is said to be hiding. Ahonotay reveals a destiny to Lileala that awakens a new power inside her and she realises her whole life – and the galaxy – is about to change…
