Across the stars, the war rages. On Aureth-9, one woman fights a different kind of battle.
In a galaxy ruled by empires and haunted by rebellion, one young woman fights a quieter war-keeping hope alive on the edges of the known stars.
On the desert planet Aureth-9, the people of Dustfall Valley survive by harvesting water from a sky that rarely remembers rain. Among them is Tavi Renn, a moisture-runner who dreams of the stars but stays behind to hold her world together when the galaxy begins to burn.
Told entirely through ten flash-fiction stories-each exactly 500 words long-The Desert Between Stars captures a lifetime in fragments: a portrait of courage, love, and mercy in the shadow of empire. Every story is a moment of survival; every silence, a prayer between storms.
Inside, you'll find:
And in the haunting epilogue, "The Rise of Rebellion," the spark that will ignite the next chapter is born.
The Desert Between Stars is more than a sci-fi collection-it's a meditation on endurance.
Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do in a galaxy at war...
is keep the lights on.
Why You'll Love It:
In a galaxy ruled by empires and haunted by rebellion, one young woman fights a quieter war-keeping hope alive on the edges of the known stars.
On the desert planet Aureth-9, the people of Dustfall Valley survive by harvesting water from a sky that rarely remembers rain. Among them is Tavi Renn, a moisture-runner who dreams of the stars but stays behind to hold her world together when the galaxy begins to burn.
Told entirely through ten flash-fiction stories-each exactly 500 words long-The Desert Between Stars captures a lifetime in fragments: a portrait of courage, love, and mercy in the shadow of empire. Every story is a moment of survival; every silence, a prayer between storms.
Inside, you'll find:
- "The Day the Sky Caught Fire" - When a starship battle shatters the sky above Dustfall, Tavi rushes toward the flames while others flee.
- "The Quartermaster's Mercy" - An Imperial officer arrives to audit her farm... and quietly chooses compassion over obedience.
- "The Market at Khera" - Among the noise and neon of the outpost bazaar, Tavi glimpses the friend who left her behind-now a face in a propaganda reel.
- "The Keeper of Dustfall" - When the power grid collapses across the valley, Tavi must find a way to bring light back to her people-before the Empire notices.
And in the haunting epilogue, "The Rise of Rebellion," the spark that will ignite the next chapter is born.
The Desert Between Stars is more than a sci-fi collection-it's a meditation on endurance.
Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do in a galaxy at war...
is keep the lights on.
Why You'll Love It:
- Perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, Ken Liu, and Dune-intimate science fiction filled with hope, humanity, and quiet rebellion.
- A beautifully structured experiment in exact-length flash fiction, where every sentence carries emotional weight.
- A story not about leaving home, but about keeping it alive.
