Celestia is a playground of luxury, miles above Earth, where the elite can experience the wonders of being in space. For those like Christophina, who do the menial work, it’s not so glamorous. She’s paid just enough to get by and to add to her savings drop by drop so she can leave on her own terms. To escape from her wearying life, she spends time in StarCity, a virtual world where she crafts wings for avatars and explores wonders that the real world can’t provide.
Her creations land her an invitation to a VIP party in Celestia, where she meets Ethan–handsome, charming, wealthy, and with a British accent that Christophina can’t resist. She assumes he’s out of reach, but instead they fall into a relationship that’s a dream come true. He brings her into a world of passions and pleasures unlike anything she’s experienced. With his help, she takes her creativity to places it’s never been.
But dreams have to be woken up from eventually. Ethan will only be around for a little while before he goes back to Earth. And as much as Christophina wants to get out of Celestia, if he takes her with him, she’ll lose her hard-won independence.
She knows she’ll be fine as long as she keeps her expectations low and just enjoys it while it lasts.
And, whatever she does, makes sure not to fall in love with him.
