A starship descending from the sky, a lost childhood stolen by a galactic Empire, and a battle lurking in the everyday. Life as Nesrin knows it will never be the same again. They say Magic is a gift and gifted she is. But how will she use her gift? And at what cost? Her life? Or her heart?

On a too perfect day a thousand years in the future, Nesrin is present as humanity's world is shattered on the very day they celebrate world peace. A starship, the first of many, descends from the sky, heralding the arrival of a galactic Empire claiming Earth as its long lost child. With it returns Magic, a power which renders technology helpless, and the alignment process begins. To start, the Empire begins by taking seven children capable of Magic and shipping them off planet, Nesrin among them.

It's been fourteen years since then and Nesrin, the eldest of the seven, has finally returned home. She's brilliant in Magic, talented, and secure of a bright future. However, the Earth she returns to is not the Earth she knew. Fault lines exist beneath the tranquil surface, tremors and cracks begin to appear, and before long, Nesrin realises her world has changed forever. Once they'd celebrated peace but now?

Now Earth is at War.

A cosmic tale of love, family, fateful choices, and epic space battles, this sci-fi fantasy tale will enchant. Follow Nesrin as she fights to decide her life, her choice, and ultimately who gets to 'Rename the Stars'.
