This series is the direct sequel to the best-selling graphic novel Star Runner: Fallen Star, which tells the story of seventeen-year old Aurora Palmer, a rebellious teen who learns the truth behind her alien origins, and uses her powerful abilities to protect her friends and discover her destiny.
In Issue One, Aurora is hoping to find peace in the halls of Madison High School. Vanguard is studying her parent’s alien technology, and she is learning more about her Star Runner origins.
