About this ebook

Don’t miss the breathtaking short story that connects the first two novels in the Starbound trilogy, These Broken Stars and This Shattered World. Tarver still has nightmares about the night, six months before the Icarus crash, when he rescued a group of civilian researchers being held hostage by brutal mercenaries. Now Tarver and Lilac must reconcile his memories of that fateful night with the truth that they uncovered on a mysterious planet after the Icarus crashed. Includes a bonus preview chapter from This Shattered World.

Ratings and reviews

I loved the book "These Broken Stars" by these authors- and I liked that they made a Novella explaining how Tarver became a war hero- but this story is rather told flat on the count it is only 7 chapters + a epilogue. Wish there was more to it than what is said - love the interaction between Lilac and Tarver between chapters. :) their so cute!! <3 so many feels!
