"An engrossing sci-fi/fantasy that breathes new life into old tropes." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"What an enjoyable read. 'The Unmarked Girl' is a book that excites the imagination and keeps you eager to explore its many twists and turns. A well-crafted story set in a fantasy world, which can easily be interpreted as an allegory about our contemporary world. I look forward to the next saga in the trilogy." -- Tim Reid, Filmmaker/Actor
Unlike everyone else on Mira, Yara has no birthline markings. She was found as a baby by a Photak and taken to the Photak village, despite how strange she looked. With an unknown origin, unmarked skin, and unusual features, the Elders were extremely wary that the baby could be a secret weapon of the Skotads. Mysteriously, however, Yara could withstand the rays of Sunstar, which no Skotad ever could. She was allowed to stay. Sixteen years later, still without any clues to her origins, Yara is training to be a warrior for the Photak Tribe. Now, an eerie, soft voice begins to haunt her dreams. It asks only one question every time:

"YaraStar... do you know who you are?"

Book One of the YaraStar Trilogy, The Unmarked Girl, comes with a gift:

Immerse yourself in the fantastical Sounds of Mira, the music album for the YaraStar Trilogy, composed and produced by Borderless Music Group. The first two tracks were created directly from Yara's world. Look out for more songs from the album - they will be released with Books Two and Three.
