Star Born

On Astra’s shore, Dalgard lays crystal beads on a rock and waits for a wild hopper to make an offer. Nearby, his companion Sssuri—a furred merman—returns from the sea with a fish and a warning: this is new land.

Generations after their ancestors fled Earth, the colonists of Astra explore a world that was once ruled by a vanished, dreaded race. Dalgard’s coming-of-age journey takes him north with Sssuri, his chosen companion, toward a city the sea people still fear. Their patience and the animals’ mind-touched warnings may help them survive, but the ruins hold secrets older than the colony—and the Others may not be gone. What waits in the forbidden city?‌
