With Grandpa Odd, her beloved mentor, by her side, Raiya worked to control her power and train as a Starlight Warrior.

However, the battle she anticipated is not the first challenge she faces. As her seventh-grade year begins, Raiya’s resolve is tested when her power unexpectedly intensifies, threatening the fragile life she has built over six years. The question arises: can Raiya embrace the duty that requires both her life and her heart? Can she survive the price of her power?
