What We Asked of Light
Stars Beyond Mercy / A Prequel Novella
Meret Istren carries a living star inside her. Hugo Remaris is the man who knows exactly what it costs her.
The Story
Meret's Light can save lives, but every new threshold of power gives the institution sworn to protect the world another reason to decide she is too dangerous to remain free. Hugo is her physician, her research partner, and the one man she should never have wanted.
When an experimental transfer fails during an eclipse, they are trapped inside a damaged celestial research complex with injured survivors, unstable magic, and outside authorities drawing nearer. Years of restrained attraction become impossible to ignore.
But when Meret chooses to risk herself again, Hugo must face the limit of what love permits in the name of saving someone. If he cannot trust her to make her own choices, he may lose the woman he is trying to protect.
