What happens when a mortal soul passes from the planes of Kelmundy? According to the beliefs of the ancient Asayougans, the souls of the dead go supernova. Their deaths ignite new life, reborn as stars in the night sky.
When the great city of Asayouga is destroyed in an unexpected attack, Nova Nightfall and his friends are left without a home, missing their loved ones. Among the dead is Nova's beloved partner, Nayeli Skylight. Her death sparks Nova to re-examine his beliefs about the afterlife, and embark on a quest to reunite with her star.
Along with his closest friends, Fenwick Greensong and Palan Keentrack, Nova devises a plan to bring them all closer to their fallen friends: he will build a spaceship, powered by the
sensory
magic of
touch, sight, sound, scent, and voice
. After devoting a lifetime to celestial research, Nova is well prepared to do the impossible.
But before the spaceship is completed, a second attack on the city forces Nova and his friends-along with a small child-to flee. They launch prematurely and instead of finding themselves among the stars, they crash on a strange, volcanic island. Only the intervention of a stranger-one without any
magic at all-offers them hope of finding Nova's missing spacecraft.
Will Nova and his crashed crew find his spaceship? Will they ever reunite with the souls of Asayouga's fallen?
Follow their journey across the Ersette Isles as they embark on a perilous quest to find hope and home among the stars.
