Wonder and realism, belonging and sacrifice. A queer cosmic fantasy romance featuring a socially anxious woman, immortal cosmic beings, and love earned the hard way.
Em Dubois, 35, likes to think of herself as rational. Embarrassing breakups, unstable employment, existential dread? All survivable with strategic compartmentalization and panicked decision-making.
Then she catches the attention of Vael, who appears out of nowhere with frustrating levels of confidence, an inexplicable interest in helping her, and a remarkable ability to dodge every question she asks.
What Vael fails to mention is that he is one of two cosmic architects who shaped the earth itself, or that they have spent millennia awkwardly trying, with mixed success, to pass as the humans they created. His history comes with consequences, with powerful organizations pursuing him for centuries. The deeper Em is drawn into the oddly welcoming circle around him, the harder it becomes to imagine a future separate from theirs.
When that conflict turns its attention on her, Em has to decide whether the family she’s found is worth risking everything for, despite considerable evidence that this is a terrible idea.
