What is Firesnake about?

Itzel has grown up on Sagan, a distant planet settled by humans who believed Earth had been destroyed. As the granddaughter of the legendary Cuentista, she knows the stories of the old world but has never seen it. Then a mysterious message arrives from across the cosmos, revealing that Earth—and another human community—may still exist. Itzel and the Saganites must decide whether to risk a dangerous journey home. But someone else has received the message, and their intentions may not be peaceful.
