Starshine (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds)
In the decades following the war-torn past of the Kellerun people, Starshine: The Legacy of Kaelira Pike tells the interstellar story of love, loss, and legacy aboard the USS Enterprise. Captain Christopher Pike finds unexpected love in Teyra Virellan, a brilliant but haunted Kellerun engineer with scars from her own past. Together, they raise a remarkable daughter, Kaelira - born of two worlds and destined to change the galaxy.
As Kaelira grows into a prodigy aboard the Enterprise, her curiosity and intellect draw her into the mysterious world of temporal science. But while the future calls to her, the shadow of Pike's known fate looms closer each day. When fate strikes, Kaelira's life is forever changed - and it is her love, brilliance, and persistence that will echo across time.
Spanning years of Starfleet service, diplomatic upheaval, and intimate family moments, Starshine is a sweeping Star Trek saga that explores what it means to lead, to sacrifice, and to live for something greater than yourself. It is the story of a daughter trying to live up to a legacy . . . and of a father who never stopped believing in her light.
