Hawkins, Indiana, 1986. Some stories are written in the stars, even if they burn out too soon.
Juliet Henderson has always known how to fight-for her brother, for her friends, for the place she's carved out in the world. It began simply, tutoring Eddie Munson in a quiet corner of the library, where sarcasm gave way to laughter, and laughter to something neither of them expected. Months later, their bond has grown into a secret romance-late-night drives, whispered dreams, and a love Juliet never imagined finding with Hawkins' most infamous misfit.
At the Hellfire Club table, she's Eddie's equal-fearless, clever, and unafraid to stand at his side. But Eddie will soon learn that that the creatures he fights in his beloved tabletop game are more real than he could ever imagine. When Vecna's shadow falls over Hawkins, their shared campaigns of fantasy become battles for survival. Juliet refuses to watch from the sidelines. With her brother at her side and Eddie at her heart, she takes up the fight, knowing that courage doesn't always protect you from loss.
In a town haunted by nightmares, Juliet learns that love is sometimes fragile, sometimes fleeting-but achingly beautiful all the same.
