Charlie Pacen always thought she was ordinary. The thought that she was so much more valuable to the whole world, that she would someday uphold the hopes of so many, never so much as crossed her mind.
All of this changes one day, though, in a life-changing afternoon full of chaos and fear, in which Charlie almost loses the two people she loves more than anything else.
But those two people are not the only people whose lives are now at stake. Each and every living thing in her world is in danger, for the man who calls himself Malitia has vowed to make the entire world suffer through misery, loss, and pain.
If Charlie doesn't survive the grueling path to the precious Brightest Star-the only hope to save everyone and everything in the world-each and every life that she's risking for her own... will be gone.
