Dawn of the Stellae
by C.A. Nole
Daylight burns in the sky of Spheria 9. The resistance is winning. Ten members of the nobility flee their home as violence erupts around them. A thirty-nine-year-old woman named Pampinea leads the ten on a ten day journey by stealing her brother's unfinished ship. She has one thing on her mind. Her fortieth birthday is nine days away, and she is required to take her life and join the Stellae in Spheria 1. But, she finds herself trapped between two spheres, two lives, and two lovers. Told from the perspectives of each of the ten, the nobility learn that the dangers they tried to escape from pale in comparison to what and who they meet in space.
