Synopsis
A PALE JEWEL
The sequel to Fly Into The Sun—a queer, mind-bending sci-fi epic about love, memory, and the refusal to disappear.
Bee Davis didn’t break the multiverse. She made it bleed.
Black. Trans. Lesbian. NASA engineer. Survivor. When the world tears and drags her somewhere else—a law-layered elsewhere where breath itself is a timer—Bee has two seconds at a time to keep moving, keep loving, keep choosing who she is.
She remembers fragments:
Summer, the woman who taught her to burn.
Alex, the woman she may have called wife.
A jeweled algorithm Bee might have built—and buried—that can re-route reality.
The problem? Something is hunting the versions of her that choose joy. And it looks a lot like Bee.
In forests that pulse with old law, Bee learns to bind heat to metal, sound to chain, breath to skin—holding a thread for as long as a blink before the world demands a price. The universe prefers neat stories. Bee refuses both.
Then the elsewhere answers with two faces of herself:
one that makes control into law—one breath of freeze, a radius of power;
one that makes beauty into hunger—fast, lethal, feeding on posed endings.
Merge and become law.
Refuse and risk everything you love.
Two seconds. Choose.
A fierce, intimate, and expansive novel about what we owe our dead, what we do with our guilt, and how queer love routes its way through impossible rooms. From ash-black labs and sentient circuitry to biolum forests and collapsing timelines, Bee’s journey is as epic as it is personal—choosing meaning when meaning feels impossible, inventing a third way when the binary wants you gone.
Queer. Black. Brilliant. Broken. Still here.
Bee stays.
Because somewhere, somehow, there is still a future worth fighting for—small and moving.
