Synopsis

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 bestselling 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.

Goodreads review by Lucinda on October 23, 2021

What an amazing book and series! I read Star Mother and was completely blown away by the worldbuilding and characters, and Star Father is just as strong. You'll definitely understand each book better if you read both, and book one first, even though they can be read independently. Aija lives with her......more

Goodreads review by Amber on March 22, 2022

2.5, but I rounded down. This one was just a let down. The narrator was so monotone it was hard to get through the audio and the story just wasn't as great as the first one.

Goodreads review by Polly on November 02, 2021

I did not believe this second installment could top its predecessor, Star Mother, but it did. I would describe this as truly one of the most beautiful, epic, love stories I have every read. Aija and Saiyon's love story and how far they go for love is heart-wrenching and once you start reading, you'l......more
