Held for crimes against the Neutral Zone, Amaya's team may fall apart while she wrestles with her powers.
Amaya is supposed to bring peace to the galaxy. Which is tough when she's being held for crimes against the Neutral Zone. Her imprisonment is on her own ship with her own crew. But close quarters create tension.

Honestly, her role as Rayatana is a mess.

She may never get to use her powers for anything good. Not if her teacher continues to keep secrets, and not if her powers keep harming others. Putting her mother in a coma should put her in prison, but she has a mission. She wants to bring peace to her people. She needs to become the Rayatana.

In this second installment of The Rayatana Series, the people groups of the Neutral Zone come together to see if they believe Amaya is truly the Rayatana, a prophesied figure who will bring either peace or war to the galaxy. Amaya's adventures delve into her internal struggle with fear and her need to understand her past so she can choose the direction of her future. Alien people groups, fast and furious world-building, and unexpected twists take readers on a page-turning ride while keeping the descriptions light for reluctant teen readers.
