“This is not what I had in mind when we agreed ‘til death do us part’.” Kyra Johnson is married to an alien. At least, she was until he was murdered. Left with only his ship and a gaping hole in her life where her husband used to be, she takes to the stars with his crew as their unwilling captain. But grief isn’t a thing so easily discarded, and she’ll have to confront his memory—and the man who killed him—before she can face a future without him. And the best thing for heartbreak is revenge.

C. M. Lockhart (also known as Chelsea) is a Black writer of fantasy because she loves creating worlds, exploring relationships, and writing stories about Black girls who aren't all that nice. She is the founder of Written in Melanin LLC—which encompasses a weekly podcast and YouTube channel of the same name—and the Melanin Library, an online database of books written by Black authors. She is also a lover of video games and anime, so whenever she isn't reading and writing—or talking about reading and writing—she's watching anime, playing her Switch, and dreaming about the day her books get animated.
