ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JJ Gozzi was born and raised in the bountiful country of Costa Rica, where starlit nights paved the road to wonder. Her love for the night sky gave birth to Mintaka, her first novel in the collection. After graduating from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, she obtained a graduate gemologist degree at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Dedicated to business ventures in various fields of jewelry design, operations management, and consulting, now she has chosen to slow down and finish the story that has conquered her dreams since childhood.
MINTAKA - The Awakening [Book 1]
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.
A series for sleuths. By the time you begin reading book 2, you will realize how much is hiding in book 1.
