~ Synopsis ~

 

She wants out, but destiny has other plans . . .

Life is unfair, thirteen-year-old Maia knows that for sure. Her dead mother is an alleged turncoat; her people are practically slaves to the Xifarians-a race of ruthless space travelers; her planet is near extinction.

Maia keeps her hopes alive for a better and peaceful future-until the day she gives in to the charms of a gypsy boy and soars into the skies in his glider.

And then, the little chance at happiness Maia thought she had is pried away. Spotted by Xifarian scouts, she is recruited into their dubious peace initiative.

Maia had never considered visiting the galaxy roving planet-spaceship of Xif; she had never thought of learning telekinetics; she had never imagined befriending the reclusive people from the undersea colonies.

But all that is about to happen, and Maia’s life is about to change forever . . .

She plots and plans with wondrous machines, cybernetic robots, time travelers and telekinetic adventurers, some of whom escape into the pages of her books.

Soon enough, she was weaving a tapestry of magical tales of her own. Once upon a previous life on planet Earth, S.G. Basu trained to be an engineer, and her interest in science and her love of engineering shows up time and again in her books. She shares her home with a large collection of Legos, a patient husband, and resident inspiration and entertainer, her daughter.
