About this ebook

A dying jungle tribe. Mysterious secrets falling from the sky. Is one girl the key to everyone’s survival?

Kaishi pleads to her god for a different future. Not allowed to become a priest and not wanting a husband, the naïve young woman refuses to bow to tradition as she prays for a way to save her family. And when the answer comes in a blaze of light, she discovers a voice in her head promising to lead her tribe to salvation.

As her new role as priestess captures the attention of an empire, Kaishi embarks on an unknown journey leading to increasing power or, if proven a fake, her end. But her efforts begin to attract the wrong kind of attention from beyond the stars. The kind with claws.

Will Kaishi’s quest put her people in danger of extinction?

Starshot is the gripping first book in The Skyward Saga space opera series. If you like complex characters, fast-paced action, and alien invasions, then you’ll love A.R. Knight’s science fiction adventure.

About the author

A.R. Knight spins stories in a frosty house in Madison, WI, primarily owned by a pair of cats. After getting sucked into the working grind in the economic crash of the 2008, he found himself spending boring meetings soaring through space and going on grand adventures. 

Eventually, spending time with podcasting, screenplays, short stories and other novels, he found a story he could fall into and a cast of characters both entertaining and full of heart. 

A.R. Knight plans on jumping through to other worlds and finding new stories to tell in the limitless borders of our imagination.

Thanks, as always, for reading!
