Ender’s Game meets The 100 at an interstellar military boarding school in a romantic new series from New York Timesbestselling author Kass Morgan!

Reeling from a devastating attack by a mysterious enemy, the Quatra Fleet Academy is opening its doors to a new class of cadets from every planet in the solar system.

Hotshot pilot Vesper dreams of becoming a captain, but when she loses her spot to a wisecracking boy from the wrong side of the asteroid belt, she begins to question everything she thought she knew. Trapped on the toxic planet Deva, Cormak will take any chance he can to join the Academy–even if he has to steal someone’s identity to get there. Arran was always an outcast on icy Chetire and is looking for a place to belong. He just never thought it would be in the arms of the hottest guy in the galaxy. And Oreliahas infiltrated the fleet to complete a mission, one that threatens the security of everyone around her. But if anyone finds out who she really is, it’ll be her life on the line….

As worlds collide at the Academy, these four cadets will have to learn to work together if they want to survive. But how do you begin to trust the very people you’ve spent a lifetime learning to hate?

Light Years is the first book in a thrilling and romantic new sci-fi series from the bestselling author of The 100.

From NOVL Nation

“Each character felt so real and well thought out. I’m not even sure I could pick a favorite because of how well each one was written.”
—Adrienne, My Bookish Bones

“It wasn’t just about the students in a space battle school competing with one another, the friendships and the mingling of different classes. There’s also the looming war and the political aspect to it. Light Years has so much potential and there’s different ways
that this could all go down.”
—Vanessa, Postcards for Ariel

“All of the characters were so interesting to follow, it always kept me on edge to see what will happen to them next. Each character is dealing with an inner demon and something they need to fight hard to accomplish.”
—ElizabethThrone of Shattered Books

“You will easily become invested in each of the characters. The political background blends beautifully with the storyline. While some of the elements were easy to predict it does not take away from the overall story. Light Years ends with an unexpected cliffhanger that will leave you anxiously waiting for the second book in the series.”
—Patti, Lovely Loveday

“I really do hope that this book is on your TBR because I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all. This was so much better than I expected and I had high hopes. If you are a fan of The Illuminae Files, then I say you need to give this a chance.”
—Sara, A Gingerly Review
