Sixteen-year-old Nate has spent most of his life hiding in The Withers dodging slave catchers and corrupt peacekeepers. But when his body begins rapidly degenerating, he must choose between working for a shadowy terrorist organization that has the means to keep him alive, or staying—and dying—with the boy he loves.
The Starless Sea is breathtaking, offering a refreshing take on romance without the typical tropes of an unlikable male character. It's a unique read that stands out in the genre.
