The Starry Rise

Ule lives as an ex-convict among her people, a race of trans-dimensional worldbuilders known as the Xiinisi. Tired of feeling like an outsider, she withdraws into a world of her own making, unaware that she's embarking on a journey of self-discovery and profound transformations of body, mind, and spirit that will see her evolve from an unlikable, impetuous young being into someone—and something—far beyond what anyone could have ever imagined…

A Xiinisi Trilogy—Book III

On the brink of death once again, Ulmain despairs—"I am a monster!" But after deathmorphing into a demon, he realizes he has no desire to harm anyone. Reflecting on what he values most, he deathmorphs into the Elishian Ul, merging male and female aspects into a feminine form that feels truer to her.

When two bounty hunters mistake Ul for a demon and capture her, they reveal that Mithreel—the deadliest and oldest of demons—has escaped his prison. Determined to find him, Ul journeys to the farthest reaches of Elish and beyond, pushing the boundaries of her own power and existence until she can no longer escape the call of her true nature. Only then does she embrace her most authentic transformation of all.

True nature is impossible to escape.
