An illness cursing the land forces a teen girl astronomer to venture across the wilderness in search of the stars\u2019 message that will, hopefully, save them all.<\/b>
\nIf magic lives anywhere, it\u2019s in the stars\u2026<\/i>
\nVega has lived in the valley her whole life\u2014forbidden by her mother to leave the safety of its borders because of the unknown threats waiting for her in the wilds beyond. But after her mother dies, and Vega sees the fabled twin stars in the sky, it\u2019s an omen she can no longer ignore, forcing her to leave the protective boundaries of the valley. But the outside world turns out to be much more terrifying than Vega could have imagined. People are gravely sick\u2014they lose their eyesight and their hearing, just before they lose their lives.
\nWhat Vega keeps to herself is that she is the Last Astronomer\u2014a title carried from generation to generation\u2014and she is the only one who carries the knowledge of the stars. Knowledge that could hold the key to the cure. And so when locals spot the tattoo on Vega\u2019s neck in the shape of a constellation\u2014the mark of an astronomer\u2014chaos erupts as the threats her mother warned her about become all too real.
\nFearing for her life, Vega is rescued by a girl named Cricket who leads her to Noah, a boy marked by his own mysterious tattoos. On the run from the men who are hunting her, Vega, Cricket, and Noah set out across the plains in search of the cure the stars speak of. But as the lines between friend and protector begin to blur, Vega must decide whether to safeguard the sacred knowledge of the astronomer. Or if she will risk everything to try to save them all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
