When everything in their world can be broken, will Kricket rely upon love to save her under different stars? Read onlineĮighteen-year-old Kricket Hollowell was looking for her place in the world when she discovered that the universe was bigger-and more dangerous-than she had ever dreamed. He’ll move the heavens and align them all in order to make her his own. He also knows she’s more valuable than any fire in the night sky. Kyon Ensin’s secrets number the stars he knows more about Kricket's gifts than anyone and plans to possess her because of them. But, when he and Kricket lie together under the stars of Ethar, counting them all may be easier than letting her go.

I walk slowly to the railing overlooking the water.I catch my first sight of the Irish coastline its craggy landscape makes me shiver in dread. Pulling my dark pea coat tighter to my body, the wind lifts red tendrils of my hair. Cold, fine drops of rain fall softly on my cheeks as I emerge from the darkness of the ship’s interior to the gray, overcast sky of the main deck.
