A galaxy on the edge of collapse. A crew searching for what remains of home. When the last star map is destroyed, navigator Kael discovers a signal from a system that shouldn't exist — a place where stars don't die. But reaching it means crossing territories claimed by empires that would kill to keep their secrets. The Grief of Stars is the first book in the Wayfarer Chronicles — a space opera about loss, identity, and the search for home among the dying lights of a fading galaxy.
