Wattys shortlist 2021. One morning the sun rises a few hours early, striking levitating skyscrapers in Soliara ahead of schedule. People in the streets stop to look up at the sky and then down at their watches. Most of them, puzzled but disbelieving, adjust the hour on their timepieces, hoping they aren't late for meetings. Constellation invented magic. It fuels Soliara's stellar teleportation system, rapid civil expansion, and skyscrapers that soar. After a takeover at Constellation, elite executives control the power of the stars. The son of a wealthy exec, Cristo feels entitled to a better future. To most, the early sunrise is the only indicator that today is any different from those that came before it. To some, it is a portent of their fears that an empire at its pinnacle has no way to go but down. To Cristo, the sign couldn't be clearer. He is the perfect candidate to change the results of the takeover at the Constellation company, but the early dawn is telling him to stop. "If the world didn't want to change, it should never have allowed him to speak." Words and magic compete for power in Soliara, an empire full of magicians who can channel the magic of the stars. Welcome to a novel in the Constellations universe.

Three best friends and a trip to Spain is the perfect recipe for catastrophe. But this catastrophe might turn out to be the best thing that has ever happened to Sophie Brooks and maybe.... just maybe... It will make her believe in love one more time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dead. She is dead. The star of my darkness has faded away and isn't going to return. I stare blankly at the sky wondering when did it all go wrong. One droplet falls upon my nose and soon the whole sky is mourning with me. I put a hand over my heart attempting to support him, to reassure him that everything is going to be okay. Even though I know it won't. I have to leave. I can't stay here surrounded by her laughs, her voice, her image. Even the grass I am walking on contains droplets of her sweat. I look at the city behind me one more time and memorize its finest details. I will miss the birds knocking on my windows, the noises cars make every morning to wake me up. Most importantly, I will miss her. But I won't cry. She taught me to be strong, to forgive, and to move on. "Wait, don't leave!" exclaims a voice I've memorized over the past month. However, it's too late. We're already in the car with all our materialistic and emotional baggage. I glance at him from the window as the taxi moves away till he disappears. I hope someday I will be able to forgive him.
