Blurb:
A bloody summer culminates in a dangerous harvest in Stardust Child, Book 2 of the Empire of the Stars. Having finally reconciled as husband and wife, Remin and Ophele face new challenges as Lord and Lady of the Andelin Valley, where the monstrous devils have wreaked havoc on their land.
A perilous journey. Haunted by the terrible losses of his people, Remin is determined to unravel the mystery of the devils, even if it means gambling himself, his friends, and his future to destroy them forever.
An untried ruler. No one realizes how unprepared Ophele is to take his place, as she takes her first steps into court politics and the complex duties of a duchess, struggling beneath the weight of her secrets and her divine inheritance as a Daughter of the Stars.
A treacherous world. From the distant capital, the Emperor wages an undeclared war on House Andelin, and every new arrival in Tresingale might conceal a foe. As Remin’s knights move to counter him, they discover old enemies with new ambitions that may threaten their hard-won home.
An epic story of courage, sacrifice, and the legacies of love. To protect their home and people, Remin and Ophele must reconcile the burden of their birthright in battles of the heart that will echo through the history of the Empire. Stardust Child is perfect for anyone who loves the monsters of The Witcher, the high-stakes politics and strategy of Game of Thrones, and the rich and intimate characterization of Outlander.
