With the help of Grandpa Odd, her beloved mentor, Raiya works to maintain control over her power and train as a Starlight Warrior. But the battle she prepared for is not the first one she must face. As her seventh grade year begins, Raiyas resolve is put to the test when her power unexpectedlyand exponentiallygrows, threatening the fragile life she has managed to build over the last six years. Can Raiya embrace a duty that demands not only her life, but her heart as well? Can she survive paying the price that comes with her power? Searchingis the prequel to The Starlight Chronicles, an epic fantasy adventure series from C. S. Johnson. FROM THE BOOK: I was very young whenI 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 thats why Im 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, Id 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 wasnt the only thing Id 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 wasnt 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 Id 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. Noto me, he was my hero. FROM THE AUTHOR: Welcome to the Starlight Chronicles, an epic fantasy adventure about fallen stars! This isthe prequel, Searching, featuing Starry Knight and herwith her powers as she enters seventh grade. WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING: It was nice the read through the mind of the other protagonist. It was great to actually read more than snippets of her life.~ Natasha, Goodreads Reviewer Wow. Utterly fantastic.~ Jackie, Goodreads Reviewer
