Descripción editorial
Inspired by the lawless love story of Bonnie and Clyde, Jenna Voris’s heart-stopping tale of passion and crime will have you seeing stars.
"A thrill ride of the highest caliber. Made of Stars is an explosion of space warfare with beautifully violent criminals you’ll love to accompany." —Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
Shane and Ava are a team. He steals the aircraft, she charms their mark, and together they take what they need. Not even their distracting chemistry could get in the way. Until Shane was caught and left to rot on a prison moon. Now, freshly escaped from confinement and simmering with anger, he has his sights set on their biggest job yet.
Cyrus just graduated from the flight academy with a shiny new position lined up reporting to a well-respected general. On his very first assignment, he stops the outlaws in their tracks—or he would have, if his annoyingly handsome copilot, Lark, hadn’t fallen for Ava’s deception.
But when Shane uncovers a top-secret plot that would leave his and Ava’s home world at the mercy of Cyrus’s military leaders, he makes it his mission to thwart them at all costs. It isn’t long before the two of them make interstellar headlines with each new heist. And thanks to a chance run-in with the rebels, Cyrus is caught between two versions of the truth. He must pick a side—and fast. Because Shane and Ava will bring the planet to its knees . . . or die trying.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Voris's bustling debut, a Bonnie and Clyde–inspired space pirate exploit, features grim conflict, corrupt politics, and social upheaval steeped in moral complexities. Seventeen-year-old Ava Castor would do anything to escape from what she feels is a dead-end existence living on the planet Nakara. So she joins up with 18-year-old Shane Mannix, a ship-stealing daredevil whose defiance escalates after a stint of harsh imprisonment under the ruling Opian empire. When an operation unveils a secret Opian plot that will devastate Ava and Shane's home world, the duo undertake a series of increasingly violent and risky odd jobs and perilous heists that bring them into repeated confrontation with Opian officials, including Cyrus Blake, an 18-year-old recent flight school graduate who grew up in a financially precarious household. As Shane and Ava continually clash with Cyrus and his peers, Cyrus recognizes unexpected commonalities with the outlaws, forcing him to question his role within the Opian institution. Shane and Ava's mutual desperation to exact revenge for wrongdoings committed against them at any cost exemplifies the narrative's core themes of vengeance and rebellion. Shane is described as having pale skin; Ava is brown-skinned; Cyrus reads as white. Ages 12–up.
