Written in Starlight - by Sloane Brooks (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

For fans of Tusk Love and The Spellshop comes a romantic portal fantasy with a cosmic twist about a storybook chambermaid and an intergalactic bounty hunter whose worlds--and hearts--collide through a magical book, threatening to rewrite fate.

Della Farley has always known her place in the world: scrubbing floors, keeping her head down, and dreaming of something more. But when she stumbles upon a strange book that seems to be writing itself--a story about a man named Ansel Tulzok, a wanted fugitive traveling the stars--her quiet life turns extraordinary.

Light-years away, Ansel finds a mirror copy of the same book. Page by page, the story unfolds with details of a woman he's never met--one whose words feel achingly familiar. As the two begin writing to each other through the mysterious pages, they open doors not just to each other's worlds, but to their most vulnerable hopes and fears.

When Della takes an impossible leap of faith and writes herself into Ansel's story, she soon finds herself aboard his ship, surrounded by stars, danger, and a crew of outlaws who might just become her family. Together, Della and Ansel strike a bargain: she'll help him clear his name in exchange for passage to the planet that holds the cure for her mother's deadly illness.

But every story has its price. And as their worlds entwine and their hearts collide, Della and Ansel must decide how far they're willing to go to change the ending fate has written for them.
