Summary

When the heavens go dark, hearts still glow for a mortal woman and a god in an exhilarating fantasy by Charlie N. Holmberg, Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Star Mother.

In a heavenly war, the moon is prevailing....

It happens in an instant, filling Aija with dread: The Sun is suddenly cast from the sky, throwing the Earth into midday darkness. On the fourth day of endless night, Aija finds an unconscious man by the river. His skin is as hot as her lantern’s glass and just as golden. To Aija, a farmhand with the soul of an artist, this beautiful stranger is an inspiration - and a mystery. He calls himself Saiyon. He bleeds light. His friends are celestial. His enemies, godlings of the moon.

Between Aija and Saiyon, attraction grows warmer. For Aija, an unfathomable revelation: she’s falling in love with the earthbound Sun God. When Saiyon’s faltering powers are restored to full glory, what then? There’s a way Aija can become immortal, too. Saiyon can’t support such a risk.

Aija chooses to follow her heart to places darker and more dangerous than she realizes. Whatever sacrifices lie ahead, they’re the only way to make an impossible true love last forever.

Critic reviews

“Fans of mythology-inspired novels like Circe and Ariadne will enjoy this sprawling tale of gods, love, and sacrifice.”Publishers Weekly

“In this tale of determination in the face of unbeatable odds, the tenuous love between a mortal and a god will send the heroine on a quest of immortal proportions, causing readers to ask the question: to what lengths would you go to be with the one that you loved?”Booklist

Brilliant!

Another great book by Charlie N. Holmberg - my favourite writer in this genre! Involved story, well written characters and as always a great ending! Great narration too! Sadly I have now read and/or listened to all her books, so have no idea what to read until her next……..

A beautiful magical sequel

I absolutely loved Star Mother, and Star Father is just as magical. I love the characters, the narration, the story of relationship between both mortals and immortals, just… fantastic. A wonderful journey of mystical escapism.

I love love stories ♥️

I was a bit disappointed the story was not told from the sun’s perspective or at least a combination of both sides. It took me a while to finish it because it got a bit boring in some parts. But I looooved the ending 😍

I have listened to Star Mother and Star Father.I smiled,i cried tears of joy.The author has such a depth of feeling.I found myself completely immersed in the world created in the tale.I was fully invested in all of the characters and I really could not stop listening!I was sad to reach the end! The narrators voice is soothing,easy to listen to and reads with the passion and depth this book deserves. A delight! Thankyou.💫
