In a world where the Sun God periodically selects a village and a willing mortal woman to carry and birth a new star — a fatal process that grants her family eternal honor — Ceris of Endwever volunteers not for glory but for control over her own legacy. Against all expectation, she survives. When she returns to her village, seven hundred years have passed. Displaced in time and utterly alone, she must rebuild a life and a purpose in a transformed world.

Ceris is quietly courageous — she chooses sacrifice as an act of self-determination, not heroism, and her journey through a changed world reads as a deeply human story of loss and renewal. Aija in the second book is more reckless and passionate, driven by an artist's soul and an unshakeable faith in the person she loves.

The first book follows Ceris as she finds her descendants and discovers what it means to carry the Sun's touch in a world still shaped by celestial politics and godling conflicts. The second book, Star Father, follows a different mortal woman, Aija, who falls into an epic love story with the Sun God himself during a catastrophic heavenly war. Together the duology explores sacrifice, love across divine and mortal divides, and the cost of devotion to something greater than oneself.
