Beyond the Stars: A Spark in the Dark

Eli didn't sign up for deep-space travel to find himself-or anyone else, for that matter. Fresh out of his homeworld and craving adventure, Eli boards a scrappy ship that smells like coffee and burnt circuits. He takes on odd jobs around the galaxy, from intergalactic delivery runs to negotiating with traders who've seen too many worlds. But as he drifts farther from home, he's forced to confront the parts of himself he tried to leave behind. Eli's days are filled with mishaps, like bickering with the ship's AI, narrowly avoiding asteroid fields, and fending off Keon's, his crewmate, questionable sense of humor. As their friendship grows, Eli realizes that maybe he doesn't have to fit into any mold or hide behind bravado to belong.

Through wild parties on alien planets, sticky situations with galactic law enforcement, and shared starlit moments on ship decks, Eli's journey through the stars becomes one of discovery, freedom, and love. He learns that in the grand expanse of the universe, there's room for every kind of love, and most people really don't care who you hold close, as long as you've got their back.

Funny, fierce, and tender, Beyond the Stars: A spark in the Dark is a story of falling in love with the unknown-both in the galaxy and within yourself. Perfect for fans of chaotic found families, slow-burn romance, and the vibrant, messy journey of figuring out who you are.
