‘Peculiar Stars’ by Rebecca Yarros plot details
While Rebecca Yarros knows what she’s doing when it comes to the fantasy genre, the way she weaves in romance is second to none, and Peculiar Stars promises a slow burn love story for the ages.
Callista Morgan is at the heart of this story, a central character defined by her tendency to put herself aside for the sake of others. When she and Darren Knight make things official with a ring on her left finger, Callista is ready for what the future holds—until her plans are blown off course.
A routine sailing trip gone wrong leaves her stranded on an island alongside her fiance’s ex-army medic cousin and their crew, and the 18 months they spend together allows her to learn more about herself and what she wants out of life than she had anticipated.
Though she and her island companion, Dominic, push their growing feelings away for as long as possible, things change by the time they are ultimately rescued, forcing them to confront the lives they left behind.
