The Darkest Stars
The Broken Stars, book 2
A gripping sci-fi odyssey of love, betrayal, and self-discovery.
After uncovering the devastating truth about her world, Calay is thrust into a fight for survival on a dying Earth. With humanity’s brutal nature exposed, dwindling resources, and an ecosystem on the brink of collapse, she teeters on the edge of insanity. When a mysterious woman from the stars offers to grant Calay’s deepest, most secret desires, she faces a heart-wrenching choice: stay on a decaying planet or embark on a dangerous journey to a distant world two billion light-years away in search of something better.
Desperate for a new beginning, Calay chooses to journey to Téras, a stunning glass-city planet. In a twist of fate, she reunites with the mother she thought dead, only to discover a shocking secret that is far darker than the vastness of deep space.
As the universe spirals into chaos, Calay is forced to confront unforgiving truths and terrifying monsters. With the very essence of humanity at stake, she must face her her darkest fears and fight not only for her life, but for the survival of Earth itself.
In this gripping, queer sci-fi adventure the line between hero and monster isn’t just blurred–it’s shattered.

Second parts of trilogies are hard to carry off without just being a necessary progression of action to get to the third, and this second book is gorgeously paced and beautifully character driven.
