Stars Beyond Meridian

Aluma Beale is used to people passing through her roadside lodge. None have arrived quite like Sylph Astrophel.

She finds him in a storm beside a wrecked motorcycle, bleeding beneath a sky he doesn’t recognize. His clothes move on their own. His eyes hold tiny galaxies. And when he says he isn’t from this world, he means it.

Offering him Room Seven is the easy part.

Soon, Sylph is repairing everything Aluma has spent years ignoring, developing a weakness for caramel, and making her wish she hadn’t noticed how easily he blushes. But somewhere beyond Nepenthia, his family is waiting—and the researchers who might help him return are a little too interested in what makes him different.

Aluma wants to help him find his way home. She just hadn’t expected to fall for him along the way.

Beneath Meridian’s unfamiliar stars, Sylph begins to want something he cannot fix, measure, or explain.

A tomorrow with her.
