The Last Star of The Wastes
About
On the Horizon: Coming Soon
Ah… Tylaria.
A nation rotting politely from the inside.
Its center—Humeria—is a city where survival is synonymous with silence, and obedience is mistaken for virtue.
Here lives Wren Aninu, who commits the quietest crime of all.
She hopes.
Raised on contraband tales of blue skies and rivers beyond the Hive walls, she carries those forbidden images like a hidden wound. When she is assigned to nurture a child alongside the unreadable Corvus, she sees in the boy—Noen—something the system insists cannot exist.
A future.
For a moment, that belief breathes.
Then defiance is noticed.
And noticed things are erased.
After Noen’s brutal end, exile follows. Cast into the Wastes, grief fractures the road ahead. Corvus turns toward vengeance, sharpening sorrow into something meant to burn. Wren turns another way—bearing memory, not fire. With nothing but loss and a whispered promise of a better world, she leads the Hopewalkers west, toward Bwigenga—a city Tylaria denies, and therefore fears.
But survival is never gentle.
It demands sacrifice.
It tests loyalty.
It asks whether love can endure when hope itself becomes a liability.
The Last Star of the Wastes is a dystopian science fantasy of loss, endurance, and the stubborn ember of hope that refuses to die—
—even when the world is built to smother it.
The exhibit is not yet open.
But the light is visible from very far away.
Praise for this book
This prologue grips you with its quiet rebellion, a childs wonder against a sterile world, whispered stories of freedom that ache with beauty. The bond between Wyla, Fran and their charge feels so real it hurts, making that final vow to reach the stars land like a hammerblow. Just one earlier hint about the childs unusual connection to nature would make their defiance even more powerful, but this already shines with raw, breathtaking potential.
