About The Brightness Between Us

This sequel to The Darkness Outside Us follows two linked storylines: Owl and Yarrow, the children of Ambrose and Kodiak, trying to survive on Minerva, and Ambrose thousands of years earlier trying to reach Kodiak on Earth. The result is a genre-bending queer sci-fi story about connection, survival, and legacy.
