A Sky of False Stars
A Novel of War, Magic, and Impossible Love
Dunkirk, 1940.
Corporal Leo Redgrave lies dying on a beach littered with bodies, staring up at streaks of false stars.
On the cusp of death, he's found and saved by a mysterious medic named Raphael.
London, 1940-41.
Dr. Raphael St. John is a brilliant surgeon with old-fashioned manners and an impossible secret: he's a two-hundred-year-old vampire who has chosen to heal the living rather than hunt them.
Together, Leo and Raphael begin pioneering treatment for shell shock that actually works, giving hope to soldiers everyone else had abandoned.
Their partnership—born of a small act of greed and urgency—becomes something neither expected.
Something that terrifies and exhilarates them both.
Leo is a simple soldier seemingly favored by strange powers: magical courts, economical witches, perverted cosmic beings, and more.
What could go wrong?
Through the worst of the Blitz and threats both mortal and fantastical, Leo and Raphael build something miraculous: a treatment program that saves lives, a found family that spans worlds, and a love that refuses to be bound by the normal rules of mortality.
A Sky of False Stars is a sweeping historical fantasy romance set against the backdrop of World War II London.
It's a story about healing trauma, building family in impossible places, and love that transcends every boundary between life and death, mortal and immortal.
It's about a marked mortal and a vampire doctor who prove that even in the darkest times, hope persists, love endures, and sometimes miracles happen when you least expect them.
For fans of historical fantasy, queer romance, found family, and supernatural politics wrapped in the tragedy and triumph of wartime London.
Some marks never fade.
Some loves never end. And some beginnings are just the start of an impossible forever.
