A Circle of Stars

Sometimes you have to leave home to find it... 

All Casper Bell has ever wanted is to belong. But now, abandoned by his friends and family after being outed, he has nothing left to lose when the people of Novilem abduct him.

Except Earth.

Teleported to a world where stars grant humans magic, Casper discovers he has the rare ability to draw power from all twelve astrological signs - a gift that makes him a political pawn for the Estellar Council.

But Novilem's inhabitants seem as hard and cold as the stone their city is carved from, and Casper's new role leaves him more isolated than ever. Until he meets the grandson of the council's most powerful woman. Helix is kind, playful, and heartbreakingly handsome, yet it's how Helix makes him feel that gives Casper hope.

As rebellion brinks in the city, even the Council starts to fracture, reaching for extreme measures that could cost Casper not only his newfound abilities, but the first place he has ever wanted to call home. Together with Helix, he must uncover the secrets of his full potential - because the survival of Novilem hinges on Casper's powers, whether he's using them or not.

Set inside a hidden lunar city, where astrology is magic and your birth sign defines your social status, A Circle of Stars is a queer young adult fantasy filled with political intrigue and romance.
