The creature caught my arm with superhuman strength. Sharp nails popped from the tips of its fingers like retractable claws. In a flash, the creature slashed my right shoulder. Holding a tiny white ball between its thumb and forefinger, it spoke with a gravelly voice. “No one steals a gypsy pearl!” “I didn’t steal anything!” With a violent shove, the creature crammed the ball into my wound and hurled me free of the space buggy... \\\* Caz hates living in space. All her life, she has just wanted the chance to explore the Surface of any one of the three planets in the Granbo System. Her chance comes when she is sentenced to a Reformatory for violent youth on the blue-green planet Caren. But the same strange creature that attacked her in space now follows her to the Surface and continues to make her life a living nightmare—until the day she realizes her life's purpose is to save the creature and its whole species. To do so, she must travel to all three planets on a quest to cycle a gypsy pearl and obtain untold power.

When you belong to three worlds, you don't belong anywhere. How can you possibly choose sides? PREQUEL TO THE GYPSY PEARL SERIES Long before Caz began her adventures on the three worlds of the Granbo star system, her mother Brita, then a young woman herself, began a quest of her own. Born of a gypsy father and a royal colonist mother, her sense of identity is confusing. When she falls in love with a space-dwelling medic, life gets even more complicated. The more she travels the planets and the social classes that inhabit them, the more she wishes she could do something to bring people together. But the caste with which she most closely identifies—the gypsies—is the one at the bottom of the social hierarchy, and there are elements who wish to eradicate them from the Granbo System completely. How can Brita, with her strong ties to three cultures, advocate for unity over isolationism and understanding over hate? Some divisions run deeper than the vastness of space... Full of adventure and a touch of romance, this prequel gives fans of the Gypsy Pearl books a glimpse at the motivations behind some of the most enigmatic characters in the series. Other books in the series: 1) The Gypsy Pearl 2) The Gypsy Fugitive 3) The Gypsy Sacrifice 5) The Gypsy Diver (Coming summer of 2019)

After growing up on a space station, Caz finds herself a fugitive on her way to the planet Craggy. The harsh, frigid mining colony supplies most of the mineral ore used throughout the Granbo System, but its lawless, violent culture makes it a dangerous destination for one so young. Armed with her pearl-given strength and her enhanced memory, she hopes to pass as a male miner long enough to find the third item in her quest to cycle the Gypsy Pearl and obtain a last mystic ability. With her friend Alf and the fanep creature, King, she unravels plots of intrigue that threaten to overturn the balance of power throughout the Granbo Charter. Along the way, she finds allies to her cause—and more enemies than she can escape alone.

Caz would love to relish these new experiences, but time is running out as her various enemies draw nearer. To make matters worse, the ingredients she has gathered along the way have a terrifying side effect—any adrenaline spikes lead to temporary paralysis! In the race to complete her quest that will save the entire alien fanep species, she discovers that leadership requires self control, determination, and the ultimate sacrifice!
