Avicenna Crowe's mother is missing.

The police suspect foul play. Joanne is an astrologer, predicting strangers' futures from their star charts. Maybe one of her clients had a bad reading?

But Avicenna has inherited the gift. Armed with Joanne's journal, she begins her own investigation that leads into the city's dark underworld. The clock is ticking, and as each clue unravels Avicenna finds her life ever more in danger.

The Astrologer's Daughter is a gripping, powerful mystery.

Rebecca Lim lives in Melbourne. She worked as an attorney before leaving to write full time. Rebecca is the author of ten other books for children and young adult readers. Her Mercy series is published in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, Germany, and Brazil.
