A new star has been born. Something out there eats the stories of stars. Three weeks into a six-week journey to Dark Feeder territory, Captain Juno Reyes and the crew of the Wayfarer are escorting more than cargo — they're guarding Vess-Sol, a newborn star sung into being by four hundred years of K'tharr grief. Nest, the sentient marble who helped sing her to life, can hear Vess-Sol learning to speak across the dark. But the Dark Feeders don't consume stars. They consume the stories about them — and a story is exactly what Vess-Sol is about to become. The second novel in The Wayfarer Chronicles, continuing the story that began in The Grief of Stars. For fans of Becky Chambers, Douglas Adams, and Ann Leckie.
