Synopsis

⭐A Goodreads Choice finalist for Readers' Favourite Science Fiction⭐

'An enjoyable, richly imagined, space-faring adventure'Guardian

'Come … for Indiana Jones-style outer space heist adventure, stay for the sensitively drawn characters and thoughtful exploration of other forms of life far beyond our own' Veronica Roth

SAVE ONE WORLD. DOOM HER OWN.

Maya Hoshimoto was once the best art thief in the galaxy. For ten years, she returned stolen artifacts to alien civilizations – until a disastrous job forced her into hiding. Now she just wants to enjoy a quiet life as a graduate student of anthropology, but she's haunted by persistent and disturbing visions of the future.

Then an old friend comes to her with a job she can't refuse: find a powerful object that could save an alien species from extinction. Except no one has seen it in living memory, and they aren't the only ones hunting for it.

Maya sets out on a breakneck quest through a universe teeming with strange life and ancient ruins. But the farther she goes, the more her visions cast a dark shadow over her team of friends new and old. Someone will betray her along the way. Worse yet, in choosing to save one species, she may condemn humanity and Earth itself.

Readers love The Stardust Grail:

'With its quirky characters, impeccable world-building, and deep themes of friendship and understanding, it offers a compelling narrative that will keep you hooked from start to finish'

'Kitasei is quickly proving to be one of my new favourite authors in the sci-fi space, and I can't wait to see what her brilliant mind cooks up next'

'Yes, I shed a tear or two because I didn’t want to say goodbye to these characters'

'It’s really easy to fall in love with this book'
