Priya Nembhard: Between Beasts & the Stars, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Between Beasts and the Stars is a sci-fi fantasy on a collision course with a Brooklyn mom discovering an ancient force rising within her, fighting against her feral divine power and navigating an alien world where she must reclaim her desire and destiny.

The stars did not choose me gently. I was ready to have a quiet night to myself with a glass of wine, the couch and a zombie flick, but instead, I was abducted by aliens, dropped 32 million light-years from Earth, and thrown into the unknown.

Survival is second nature...motherhood taught me that. But this? This is something else. Rescued by a human woman and towering purple aliens, I struggle to process the impossible. I don't belong here. I have children to raise and a home to get back to. But the universe doesn't care about what women deserve, it takes, it demands, and it never stops to ask if I'm ready.

I was never meant to wield this power. Never meant to stand at the center of prophecy. Never meant to carry a force that bends warriors to their knees. My power is raw, volatile, and impossible to control. The weight of it crushes me. I was already carrying the invisible labor of motherhood and duty, now the Source has made me its warrior, too?

But beneath three moons, something in me is rising.

Now I brace for the cosmic chaos beside a creature born of battle and intense silent strength. His loyalty quiet, his devotion primal, his restraint louder than any vow.

The promise of home is within reach... but nothing is ever that simple. What if I was never meant to be conquered.

What if I was taken to awaken?
