Florescentia and the Otherside

Altair appears when Lucia Fairfax’s next ritual fails beyond anything she intended: a cosmic entity born of an ancient constellation, human and not, dangerously alluring and wholly sentient.

In Astraea, the bioluminescent city that worships the stars, this inventor and occultist has made a practice of harvesting luck from the shadows of a dimension she calls the Otherside.

Her previous rite ended in her husband’s death and the loss of the fortune she had built, and she turned to another ritual to recover her power.

Altair is the key she did not mean to call, and the way into the Otherside she can no longer open alone; entering his realm is the most dangerous step she has taken, and the one she least wants to refuse.

Within it, the secrets of that dimension, the disturbing truth of her abilities, and the depth of his hunger close around her, and retreat grows harder.

Caught between worlds, Lucia cannot keep love, desire, and ambition from exacting their price, and Altair is waiting for the payment.
