Starsight(2019)

Starsight (released in 2019) is the second book in the four-part series Skyward, by American Author Brandon Sanderson. The Skyward series is set in the same universe as Sanderson's short story Defending Elysium made in 2008, which details some events before humans became fugitives. Defending Elysium is available for free on Sanderson's website, and contains spoilers for Skyward.

Synopsis
All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she’s a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumors of his cowardice are true—he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them.

Spensa is sure there’s more to the story. And she’s sure that whatever happened to her father in his starship could happen to her. When she made it outside the protective shell of her planet, she heard the stars—and it was terrifying. Everything Spensa has been taught about her world is a lie.

But Spensa also discovered a few other things about herself—and she’ll travel to the end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to.
