In the far future, among beings of pure energy stretching across impossible distances, one small purple light named Devil Star faces a universe that has already written his ending. Born imperfect, taunted as Yellow Light by his peers, he carries the weight of an entire lineage: his grandfather Darkness sought the answer to existence in death itself, his mother Sun Destroyer died yearning for a transcendence that might not exist, and his father Vanguard was guided by the ancient sage Oldster toward a mating that was really a slow-form suicide. Now Devil Star must decide whether to accept the fate scripted into his atomic core or defy the predetermined laws that govern all creation. Rocklynne weaves a meditation on heredity, determinism, and the desperate hope that drives each generation to reach beyond its grasp. This is space opera scaled to cosmic infinity, where battles are fought across dimensions and the fate of entire species hangs on the choices of beings who can barely understand their own existence. For readers who crave science fiction that asks what it means to be alive when the universe has already decided your ending.
