Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials
✨⭐️✨

The mightiest stars are formed in the densest darkness.

🌌

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power meets Horizon Zero Dawn & KPop Demon Hunters in this sapphic, slow-burn romantasy 💖 🌈

What’s in the book: Queer sci-fi romantasy Magick meets machines Found family, but make it galaxy-saving Magic girls with layered identities Emotionally-devastating relationships Slow burn friends-to-enemies-to-something-complicated Clone identity crisis Grumpy/Sunshine - contrasting dispositions AI owl hologram programmed to protect the solar system gone rogue Power doesn’t always look like destruction The power of connection Autistic aroace strategist Disabled/differently-abled heroes Neurodivergent rep Not everyone needs a romance arc Empowering femme strength A galaxy of unique species and cultures Trans woman rising from the ashes, rediscovering herself, and receiving gender-affirming care Bonded familiars that level-up with you and transform into mounts Multiple POVs with alternating chapters (hero/villain(??)) Emotional wreckage + beauty Banter. Angst. Banter again. “Oh no they’re hot” moments Planet-hopping adventure Star*Relic Mode: activated Feels like being seen Grief, recovery, and defiance Powerful doesn’t mean unbreakable Book cover for Book One Part One featuring artwork by me Back of book reads: A malfunctioning, planet-regulating artificial intelligence. Six interconnected planets teetering on the brink of collapse. An impending extraterrestrial invasion. Who could possibly save an entire solar system? Naturally, it falls on Veyla, a newly-awakened clone of an extinct Primordial species. If she fails, AION — an AI with a holographic owl avatar and a core directive to maintain planetary balance — will succeed in her latest mission: wiping out every magick user with her army of nightmare-fuel bots. Oh, and there are interplanetary tensions and cute girls with questionable agendas to contend with. Typical teenage stuff. No pressure, right? At least she’s got an excessive amount of optimism to work with! Armed with ancient magick (that she’s still kind of winging) and cutting-edge tech (which she’s mostly figured out) Veyla and her friends might just be the only ones capable of uniting people, planets, and the slightly-unhinged AI who was supposed to protect them in the first place. The real question is: can they do it all in time? Book cover for Book One Part Two featuring artwork by me Back of book reads: Thousands of stolen soulcrafts. A former ally turned wildcard. And five AI cores standing between our heroine and planetary extinction. The pressure’s rising for Veyla — the teenage clone of an ancient, extinct alien species — as she and her unlikely team race across the solar system with the ultimate goal of restoring a corrupted planetary AI shaped like a holographic owl before magick disappears for good…along with all the people who wield it. But not everything is going according to plan. Between magick not being accessible to them and their animal familiars on most every planet they visit, some of them getting scattered through a malfunctioning portal, and oh, yeah — Ash (the questionably-aligned, heartbreaking heartthrob) now working with the enemy, things are far from easy. As they journey through volcanic wastelands, singing crystal caves, and hostile territories full of secrets, Veyla discovers hidden knowledge encoded in her DNA while simultaneously working to contain the feelings she’s hoped to keep buried. There are new allies, risky detours, and absolutely no time for emotional processing. Especially not during the Solstice Starlight Ball, where truths glitter just beneath the surface, and a couple songs and a single dance might just unravel everything. Amid the chaos, Veyla still has a job to do: recover the remaining AI cores before AION purges Elysia of all sentient life. The final stop on their mission? Naturally, it’s Ash’s homeworld. No biggie. It’s just the most heavily-guarded core yet. And their best shot at stealing it might just mean joining forces with the last person Veyla expected to trust… Artwork by me of the main character kissing her frenemy/crush

“Ha. Boob.”
One of my favorite little humorous parts in Star*Relic from Ash’s perspective (the frenemy/lover). 😄

#WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Excerpt #Snippet
"Thanks," Ryn sighs, stretching her arms overhead with a dramatic groan. "I just want a foot massage, some strips of jerky, and twelve hours of sleep. Is that so much to ask?" "I'll second the jerky," Drax says, visibly perking up at the mere mention of meat. "Lucky for you," Ryn replies, "I've got a decent amount left." She begins rummaging through her bag with the determination of a woman on a mission. Out comes her battered leather journal (which she treats more lovingly than most people), a steel water bottle, various survival supplies, a blow-up pillow, and enough provisions to qualify as a miniature general store. The only thing still attached is her bedroll. Drax exhales the slow, beleaguered sigh of someone witnessing their own personal apocalypse. I eyeball him, already knowing where this is going and bracing myself. "Excuse me while I reorganize the catastrophe you just unleashed," he grumbles, crouching beside her bag as though he's about to defuse a bomb. Drax is, without question, the most pathologically orderly person I know. He can't abide a mess. Watching Ryn empty her bag on the ground is, for him, a spiritual attack. Woe to anyone outside our little gang foolish enough to disrupt his carefully-curated order. I'd almost pity the poor soul if I weren't too busy marveling at the spectacle of righteous fury he'd unleash. Naturally, Ryn ignores him completely. He starts folding things that don't want to be folded and tucking away rations with the reverence of a librarian handling sacred texts. Meanwhile, having located it, Ryn tears into a pouch of dried meats with zero ceremony. The smell hits Drax, and he freezes, fist curled around one of Ryn's wrinkly shirts (one I instantly recognize, being that it's among Ryn's favorites, marked by that angled zipper slicing down to its asymmetrical hem). "Relax, big guy,” she says, tossing him a strip, and I conceal a chuckle, since the action feels reminiscent of a zookeeper feeding an animal. He drops the shirt, catches the jerky, and tears off a chunk with his carnassials. All the while, he watches her with sharp and unreadable eyes. I let them be, turning my attention to the surrounding cliffs. I can see why my father picked this spot. The tall sandstone walls on either side act like a natural windbreak, which is crucial now that the desert gusts are gaining speed, angling toward full-blown haboob territory. Ha. Boob. Still funny. What? I'm allowed one childish indulgence. Okay, fine. One among many. Take it up with my middle finger.

“Fury is fuel.”

Ash, the razor-tongued frenemy-to-lover in my #sapphic #scifi #romantasy Star*Relic, is nothing if not relentless. She meets every battle & heartbreak with the same defiant resolve that dares the universe to challenge her twice.

#WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP
Primora's been licking its chops at the thought of us failing. Let it salivate. This planet can continue to gnaw at my bones, but I'll keep on standing. I was forged to outlast, to survive, to claw my way up, and to wrest something from the ruins left by men like our clueless conqueror. We may have lost our home, but we haven't lost the battle. Not by a long shot. We'll gather the pieces, sharpen our teeth, and return. I clench my fists, welcoming the cold wind's sharp wake-up slap. It's better to focus on the anger. It's cleaner and easier than letting the despair crawl in. Gives me something to grip when everything else slips through my fingers. Despondency is a slow kind of death. Fury is fuel. A drawing I did of Ash. She has white asymmetrical hair, icy blue eyes, long Fae ears, and glowing algae necklace, and is wearing a leather jacket and cropped tank.

Ryn Redtide, the trans woman whose strength was forged in the storms of Primora. Her story is one of survival & defiance. Her scars are a testament to an iron will that refuses to break, no matter how fierce the fire or how cold the world.

Star*Relic thrives on hope! It’s the heartbeat of the story. I’d rate it a solid 9 or 10. Despite all the peril & cosmic doom. 😆😁

Hope shines brightest through Veyla/the FMC’s whimsy & irrepressible, goofy belief that light can still reach even the darkest corners. ☀️

#WIPSnips “trail”

The gang is navigating some treacherous terrain… 🏔️🌊 Think Skull Island from King Kong.

#WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #SFF #AmWriting #Scifi #Sapphic #lesfic #sapphfic #LGBTQIACommunity #ButchFemme #SapphicBooks
The path down isn't so much a trail as it is a series of unfortunate rock formations that demand scrambling, careful balancing, and praying the rocks don't give out beneath our boots. Every few steps, there's another leap of faith. Literally. We do our best to not plummet between the crevices or slip down a shale chute. All the while, the ocean waits below, white-capped and furious, ready to swallow anyone who miscalculates. Once we get past an especially sinister section, Ash turns to me for the next route, and I take the lead, guided by the glowing dot in my mind blinking like a waypoint anchored to the portal's location. The gateway's near, but the cliffs are particularly merciless for those of us without wings. Every time the wind shrieks off the coast, I swear Fenn faceplants again. Fortunately, Dolith is right there with a steadying hand and the world's most patient expression. "I'm fine,” he insists. "Totally under control. Just testing the ground's stability. It failed."

#WIPSnips 5. "Trail"

Ashrah doesn't need any extra motivation to go on a killing spree.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Another cry reverberated far beneath their feet. “Do you know anyone who got sent to the Chasm?” Sareena asked. “The Rotten Knight, a devil who lost his dominion in a war against the Scourge, another of Ulorzz’s vassals. I was there when he hacked the Knight’s legs off and tied him to his chariot to be dragged all the way here.” Ashrah had heard the stories, and later she had followed the alarun left behind, a four-layer-long trail of blight, hate emanating from it like mist and driving the demons around into a hysteria of violence. One devil fell to its own slaves. Another sought war against the Scourge only to be incinerated by Ulorzz. Ashrah herself had slaughtered many then. Not because the alarun affected her, no. Her hatred had run deeper.

The closest I have are a few webs. Here’s one of them. 🌪️🌊⛈️

#WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #SFF #AmWriting #Scifi #Sapphic #Skywriters #FantasyWriters #lesfic #sapphfic #LGBTQIACommunity #SapphicBooks
The storms on Sylvanis are merciless. They roll in and out without a pattern I can discern, but the longer I'm here, the more it feels like they've decided now's the time to let loose. Rain isn't weather anymore. It's my new lifestyle and personal nightmare. Every time I step out of the pop-up tent Maytra gifted me, the downpours soak me clean through, clinging like an overbearing parent. Annoying. Smothering. But at least consistent. What isn't consistent are the mutations. Some storms unleash torrents of sparks that singe clothes and bite into skin in a very angry, murder hornets sort of way. Others tear open the sky with lightning that webs across the canopy in raw, jagged veins. And once (thankfully just once), the jungle itself screamed with a storm of pure magickal wind. It was a miles-long crimson funnel that spun through everything in its path, raging with something-to-prove energy. I watched it hurl trees and stones as if they were toys while it nearly swept me and Poof into oblivion. I had to ignite Star* Relic Mode just to stay alive and cling onto the boulders we were taking shelter around. Without it, we'd have been scattered across the jungle and likely shredded into tragic confetti in the storm's wake.

#WIPSnips “ancestors”

“…inwardly cringing uncontrollably for the next…eternity.” 😂😅😅😅

Veyla, the protagonist of Star*Relic, misplaced a very important Primordial Fragment that rearranged itself into a magickal ring for her.

Oops!

#WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Scifi #Sapphic
I spin in frantic circles, eyes darting through the undergrowth while my brain scrambles for answers. Did I drop it? Did it slip off during that magickal storm? My imagination helpfully supplies the worst-case scenario: the ring sinking into swampy sludge, swallowed whole while every past owner (Goldspire, her entire lineage, and probably the Primordials themselves) collectively facepalm, even from the afterlife. They kept it safe through interplanetary wars, the collapse of their own civilization, AION's tyranny, and the founding of a magick Academy...only for me to lose it practically on day one. And in a jungle this size? Where storms casually remodel the landscape in a manner similar to a child knocking over sandcastles for fun? Yeah. Perfect. Totally retrievable. Bravo, Veyla. Absolutely stellar work. What's next? Misplacing Poof? Dropping an AI core down a ravine? Losing the stash of leftover birthday sweets I smuggled into my bag and am desperately trying not to solely live off of? (Please, not that.) So... To the Primordials and every single one of Goldspire's very responsible ancestors: my sincerest apologies. Really. Hope you can find it in your cosmic hearts to forgive me. I'll just be over here, inwardly cringing uncontrollably for the next...eternity.

Just wrapped edits on Chapter 62 of Star*Relic (one of my favorites)! It’s very satisfyingly written through the lens of a young lesbian who’s been beaten down her entire life & finally claims her own power, not by becoming what the world told her to be, but by rising above it. 💪

“It’s him! It’s the claw man!” she said, the words filled with venom and fury. Sam turned his head around to see Nyxel standing on the deck but looking towards the bow. He looked in that same direction and saw, on the pod screens, a ship in the middle of the approaching fleet. It was slightly larger than the Silverbrow and looked more sleek and intimidating with a slightly darker colour to it in general, from its sails to its keel. Other, far larger pirate ships flanked it, but this ship in particular seemed to be the center of the swarm, its heart and its driving force. And on its hull, in-between the glowing and pulsing flake-strips, were four painted red claw marks, as if some gigantic monster had clawed at the ship in passing, only to reveal that it was a flesh and blood underneath. “Nyxel says someone is here!” Sam called through the intercom, needing to shout to be heard above the wind. “I know it! That’s the Briarpatch! It’s Captain Jason’s ship! Looks to be their flagship!” Gunney replied.

Happy Halloween! 👻 🎃😈

Here’s a segment of a song I wrote entitled “I’m the Monster in the Dark.” It’s performed by Ash (the razor-tongued, emotionally-barricaded frenemy-to-lover in Star*Relic).

#WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #WritingPrompts #Monster
I'll carry the fire, I'll shoulder the blame, Love's never easy, and fate's seldom kind. Though the spark may fade, I'll still bear the flame, I'll burn down the stars with you on my mind. Now I'm the monster in the dark that you hate, I'll do your job even better than you. I see how you struggle to carry this weight, Time to pass the baton to someone new. I'm here, and I'm willing, I'll get it all done, I know this must hurt, but please understand. I'll take it from here, you must know now I've won, It's been fun, my dear, though not what you planned. I'll miss your sweet scent, the way it caressed me, I'll miss your dark eyes that never were cold. We've had our moments when we were happy, Now I've gotta go and walk my own road. I am the monster who hides within your dreaming, The dark beast who awakens what won't be told. I'll leave a rose in the wake of your heart's bleeding, It's farewell for now, though the fire I hold.

#WIPSnips “blood-curdling”

A wild leviathan had appeared! 😱

#WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #SFF #AmWriting #Scifi #Sapphic #WritingPrompts
A shadow appears. It's not a manta ray this time or a whale. It's something far larger. The sunlight overhead becomes eclipsed as something massive drifts into view. A fin appears, longer than a boat, cutting through the water with lazy, terrifying strokes, trailing streaks of glowing plankton in its wake. And then, the body appears. It keeps coming. And coming. And coming. A serpent the size of a city block coils around the dome, its ridged scales catching the interior light in flashes of silver and slate. Spines jut along its back, each lighting up in neon green like diseased bioluminescent organisms. The water bends around it, currents warping from the sheer force of its movement. I suck in a sharp breath when its head finally swings into view. It's the size of a house. A big house. Rows of teeth jut in mismatched saw-blades, jagged as shipwrecks, framing a maw I'd very much like to avoid testing the acoustics of. Its cavernous eyes swivel, slitted pupils narrowing on the sphere in my hands. The Al core. Of course. Dinner with a side of divine tech.

Veyla, the protagonist in Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials, is having a particularly difficult time navigating this planet in this humorous scene. 😆🌳

#WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #SciFi #Fantasy #Romantasy #Cyberpunk
So, yeah. Sylvanis and I? We're not besties. Which is why, when a suspiciously-quiet morning finally arrives, I take it as an invitation. A reprieve. Time to make Headmistress Goldspire's starfire magick earn its keep. My genius plan? Forget climbing for the fifth time only to be thrown off by the trees' ongoing vendetta. Instead, I aim my sights on the smug, too perfect cluster of fruit dangling just out of reach and think, why risk another embarrassing and painful tumble when I've got intergalactic firepower sitting pretty in a Primordial-Fragment-turned-ring? Sure, I could live off Forge rations forever. But by day three, I'm already more than done with chewing through bland nutrient bricks and freeze-dried mystery mush for every single meal. (Poof, of course, thinks she's won the culinary lottery, since she gets my share). Foraging, unfortunately, wasn't one of the handy skills pre-downloaded into my clone brain, so identifying poisonous fruits and fungi is not exactly in my repertoire. Still, I've spotted some primate-ish locals chomping on this particular cluster of high-canopy fruit more than once, so I figure it's about as safe as jungle dining gets. Famous last words, right?
