Young Disa lives with her little brother Brother and their mean and good-for-nothing parents, who force them to steal to survive. After a fight with their father forces them to run and leaves Brother with a conspicuous star-shaped scar, the siblings are entangled in events much bigger than them. In a world suddenly full of mysteries, dragons, riches, and shapeshifters, could Brother be the key to bringing peace to the ruler of Gibat? All Disa knows is that she will stop at nothing to keep him safe.
The Gibat Chronicles series is set in a magical world where most adults can’t be trusted, and children must find their own power and take control over their own lives. Revolving around the themes of friendship, family ties, and great sibling love, the series will be completed by the third volume, out in 2026.
