Nowhere Stars

Liadain was born to die. A girl with a terminal illness, she clings to the desperate hope of living forever—until hospice care becomes her final stop. Then, on a night steeped in terror, she meets a monster worse than death and the enigmatic savior who offers her a choice: become a Keeper. These chosen children wield magic against the Harbingers, living nightmares that feast on dreams and souls. Few Keepers fight for heroism alone. Those who consume enough Harbingers transcend humanity, gaining the power to remake themselves. Liadain seizes this chance, but her magic reflects the bitterness festering in her soul—command over sickness, death, and misfortune. To survive, she must wield the very forces that have tormented her. As she tears fragments of salvation from the hearts of monsters, Liadain begins to question the line between her hunger and theirs. The cost of eternity may be becoming the nightmare she hunts.
