“There are many accounts of the story—how the Moon stole the Stars from the Desert Sands…“ Twin tales unfold: one of Neoma, the Moon Goddess, and her infamous heart of ice, and one of Staella, the Star Goddess, who must silence herself to survive. When the Angelic Realm is all but destroyed by the Convergence of Planes, Neoma helms the fight for her people’s survival. But when another world is discovered, coexisting with the ruins of her own, she unlocks powers that would elevate her to godhood—yet all the while struggles with a secret that would shatter everything she has worked for, should the realms find out. Orphaned in the Convergence, all Staella has ever wanted is family and love—and finds it, or so she believes, when Morathma sweeps her off her feet. He seeks power in this new realm, and Staella follows, becoming a goddess loved for her kindness and splendid songs—and all the while hides a breaking heart, as the man she loves favors power over fidelity. In a convergence of fate, the Moon and Stars meet, shifting the very gravity of each other’s worlds. Will they find the happiness they’ve yearned for in each other? Or will they be crushed by the might of the Desert Sands? [Patreon Exclusive]
