"Creating Earth was our greatest mistake." Azariah created the universes. Alive since the beginning of all time, he is the ancestor of humankind. But he punished humans long ago, banishing them from space in the Great Separation. But now space is collapsing. An unknown toxin suffocates Azariah's precious worlds. Now Azariah's young daughter, Dinah, is a growing celestial body whose own might is increasing. But is her new strength a threat, a weapon designed by her vicious mother to destroy him? Why does Dinah want so desperately to visit the River Keeper, a fallen Scion who fought against him, long banished to desolate Earth? There is one way to find out. On Earth, Hope Casey fights to survive against her growing enemies. But Hope also sees it -- the poison in the air, a pollutant escaping from humans. It infects other people, before it floats into a massive river across the sky. When a thundering cloud in the form of a man accosts her at night, Hope knows she's not crazy. But why? How is she connected to these star people from another world? And will this dark poison cost Hope her life? In this science fiction coming of age saga, Harry Potter meets black-ish.
