This cover that was done by Najla Qamber (http://najlaqamberdesigns.com/ ) is wicked! This is K.C. Neal's book Helia's Shadow Part One, which is the first book in the Starlight Age series due to be out this Fall! I love everything about the cover. It looks like an awesome read just based off of the cover. Here is the synopsis for it:
Nineteen years ago, aliens arrived on a dying Earth with advanced technology and the promise of ensuring human survival in exchange for a place to settle. They were hailed as the saviors of humans and Earth.
Today, 16-year-old Helia wants two things in life: to step out of her over-protective mother’s shadow and become an engineer, and to stop hiding her romance with alien boy Kalo. But the world definitely isn’t ready for a human-alien romance. And worse, the human-alien partnership is crumbling. Humans are being arrested without explanation. Some of them are never seen again.
When the alien leader imprisons her mother on a false charge, Helia discovers the aliens never intended to help humans at all. Now, she must join forces with alien rebels and convince the young rebel leader that humans aren’t expendable. If she succeeds, humans have a chance at survival and she has a chance at love. If she fails, the dwindling human race dies out in slavery.

Now, usually I am not a big science fiction reader, but this book sounds so interesting that I am going to have to make an exception! I cannot wait to read it!

Here is just a little bit about the author of this fascinating looking book:
K.C. Neal works in publishing and writes YA books. She likes to surf and hang out on sandy beaches, where drinks are served adorned with tiny umbrellas. When she's not taking tropical vacations, she paddleboards, reads, writes, gardens, watches too many things on Netflix, and tells her dog, Oscar, how adorable he is.
