Gaia Wept
Gaia Wept (book 1)
Gaia was born a goddess with no past and no end.
Alone in a desolate galaxy, the purpose she gives herself is creating life, nurturing what survives, and protecting her fragile worlds from a universe that destroys as easily as it makes. With only Prime, the companion she made from herself, to keep her company, Gaia convinces herself that duty is enough.
Then she meets Sigil.
Mortal, principled, and achingly kind, Sigil becomes everything Gaia was warned never to love.
Across ages and lives, he and the child he protects, Cassi, return to her again and again, each time drawing Gaia closer to the family she never allowed herself to want.
But eternity is cruel to those who love a mortal.
As Gaia struggles to reconcile her self-appointed role as caretaker with the impossible pull of Sigil and Cassi, she must decide whether a goddess exists to serve creation, or whether she deserves a life of her own.
Gaia Wept is a sweeping science-fantasy love story about loneliness, family, sacrifice, and the courage to break one’s own rules.
Cassiopeia Rising (book 2)
Cassi has spent lifetimes being saved.
Now she wants to prove she can save others.
To help Gaia act as cosmic caretaker, Cassi chooses a world on the brink as her proving ground. There she finds Thistle, a dying orphan from an oppressed caste, and Wyn, a fragile princess with a failing heart and a kingdom full of enemies.
They should be enemies.
Instead, Cassi sees in them the possibility of a future neither their people nor their bodies were meant to survive.
But guiding a world is only part of Cassi’s trial. Death has taken Prime, Gaia’s oldest companion, and Cassi refuses to accept that even a goddess must leave the dead where they lie.
To heal a divided world and bring Prime home, Cassi will have to trust her judgment, defy death itself, and discover what kind of goddess she wishes to become.
Cassiopeia Rising is a mythic science-fantasy adventure about justice, chosen family, impossible love, and a goddess coming into her own.
B-Rate Gods (book 3)
Gaia has finally found the way home.
After more than a billion years of self-exile, she, Cassi, and Prime are on the path back to the people Gaia thought she had lost forever. Then a cry for help pulls them off course and strands them in a world ruled by gods who appointed themselves.
Wisdom manipulates. War hungers. Death schemes. Love seduces. Storms destroy.
Beneath them, lesser gods endure, mortals suffer, and whole civilizations rise and fall at the whims of beings who have mistaken power for purpose.
Gaia has spent eternity creating life. These gods have spent theirs playing with it.
To find the road home again, Gaia must confront a pantheon built on vanity, fear, and control and decide whether saving one more world is worth risking the family she has only just begun to reclaim.
B-Rate Gods is the epic conclusion to the Gaia trilogy, a story of homecoming, false divinity, cosmic family, and the dangerous difference between being worshipped and being worthy.
