In Vega’s world, survival means surrendering memories to an arcane intelligence.

Doomed to die as sacrifice, she cheats fate with forbidden magic—but her family's curse hunts her brother instead.

To save him, Vega must uncover the truth her world was made to forget.

First Revelation: "To survive, you must forget." First paragraphs from the first chapter of The Celestial Ring: As I move through the canyon of glass and steel toward Her, the likelihood of imminent death feels briefly distant. For the millionth time, my fingers brush where the disruptor hides in my robe pocket. If this little device saves me, it will be more than worth the risk. My brother strides ahead, shaking his head at the Interpreter towers. Each spirals upward, disappearing out of reach, like the people inside them. Families with desirable names and the privileges that come with it. Kids who probably are not worried if they’ll hear Her voice today. The Celestial Ring YA Science Fantasy by H.K. Smith

A dark space fantasy aesthetic mood board with a collage of photos. Vertically down, from the first column: 1. A violet, light-tinged hole framing a violet sky 2. A faint silhouette of a woman beneath colors like the northern lights 3. Two hands reaching towards one another 4. A sci-fi inspired, dark uniform with a high collar 5. A grand stairwell, perhaps a futuristic religious site, with a single silhouette looking up 6. Two romantic silhouettes against a starry night sky 7. A lone figure with a backpack, standing amongst a shroud of sand-colored fog 8. A hand covered in glitter 9. A silhouette standing in front of a blue-lit circular tunnel entrance 10. A black woman with glitter coating her shoulder, just the bottom half of her face is visible, lips tilted slightly up in a smile 11. A black woman screaming 12. A stream of light breaking through dark clouds 13. An eye turned to show only the whites 14. Figures in robes seemingly suspended in mid-air 15. A figure on a black, sleek futuristic looking motorcycle None of the images are my own. They are all sourced from Pinterest

“Plan A: hack memory-eating AI god.
Plan B: don’t get killed by said god.
Plan C? something even more questionable.”

Witty and defiant, Vega is determined to break her family’s deadly curse—even if it means reclaiming outlawed magic or allying with the boy who broke her heart.
