"If All the Stars Go Dark is a sweeping space opera about grief, survival, and the fragile hope that endures even at the edge of the universe. Blending high-stakes danger with sharp banter and aching tenderness, the story follows Keller and Lament as their lives collide amid intrigue, loss, and impossible choices. As secrets unravel and the stars themselves seem to dim, their connection becomes both a risk and a refuge. Heartbreaking and luminous, this is a story that asks whether love can still shine brightest when everything else goes dark--and whether some things are, in fact, more beautiful against the sky." -Devin Greenlee, author of Evergreen
