Book Summary: The Last Fallen Star

A Captivating Debut from a Best-Selling Author
In an exhilarating journey through culture and magic, acclaimed author Rick Riordan introduces Graci Kim’s remarkable debut novel, now available in paperback. This enchanting tale follows the life of an adopted Korean-American girl who embarks on a quest to uncover her roots and harness her magical abilities to protect her witch clan family.
“Graci Kim masterfully intertwines Korean mythology with contemporary life, leaving me in awe of the fascinating insights I had missed,” praises Rick Riordan, a #1 bestselling author according to the New York Times.
Riley Oh eagerly anticipates her sister Hattie’s initiation into the prestigious Gom clan, a lineage of powerful Korean witches renowned for their healing abilities. As Hattie prepares to earn her Gi bracelet and gain the freedom to cast spells independently, Riley, who is a saram—a term for those without magic—grapples with feelings of isolation. Adopted and longing to embrace her family’s legacy, Riley has diligently studied every healing spell, yet she often feels like an outsider among her magical kin.
In a moment of inspiration, Hattie proposes a daring idea: what if they could perform a spell that would enable Riley to share her magic? Their investigation into the family’s ancient spell book uncovers a promising incantation, leading them to plan its execution during Hattie’s initiation ceremony. If successful, this spell could alter Riley’s status forever.
However, their ambition comes at a cost. When they dare to breach the sacred laws of the Godrealm, Hattie’s life is suddenly in jeopardy, forcing Riley to undertake a daunting quest: to locate the last fallen star. What is this star, and how can she possibly find it?
As Riley embarks on this perilous adventure, she encounters fantastical beings and reluctantly collaborates with former adversaries. Along the way, she unveils profound secrets that challenge her understanding of witchcraft, family dynamics, and the essence of belonging.
“A delightful entry into a new magical universe that hints at even more thrilling escapades ahead,” notes Kirkus Reviews.
