Selected: A Young Adult Sci-Fi Adventure

She was taken from Earth. Now she must prove she belongs among the stars.

When fourteen-year-old Kara Howard is selected by an alien race to leave Earth, her world shatters. Torn from her family, her friends, and the only life she's ever known, she is thrust aboard a colossal starship bound for Zaratan—a distant world desperate to rebuild after a devastating plague.

Life among the stars is anything but welcoming. Grueling physical and psychological trials will determine who survives, who belongs, and who is destined for greatness. With loyal friends at her side and an unexpected first love growing in the midst of uncertainty, Kara begins to discover that her selection was no accident.

But ancient rivalries, hidden bloodlines, and dangerous political forces threaten everything she's fighting to become. As Kara uncovers the truth about her mysterious heritage, she realizes her future—and the future of an entire civilization—may rest in her hands.
