MINTAKA

About the Book

On the highest peak of Sacramento Mountain, above the clouds carpeting
the ancient city of Mintaka, dwell the Stellankin. A star-born race with a
power of the mind untapped by humankind, yet tormented by an unresolved
mystery that has left many entrapped in a different dimension, leaving their
bodies earthbound–these are the Forcefully Forgotten. Enter Ariana Vega
who breaks through her parents’ over-protection, uncovering the many
secrets of why they kept her a dormant Stellan until this point in her life,
unfolding this grappling story with adventure, prophecy, curiosity, and
mysticism. Mintaka: The Awakening is the first book in a YA Fantasy series.
The adventure continues.
