Forever is a long time-and that is how long Starfire will live with the man she chooses as her love. It is also what causes her to struggle with an already difficult decision. Jerick is a love-stricken man who has been pining for Starfire's companionship, in one form or another, for centuries. At one point, they were supposed to marry each other, but it ended tragically, and Jerick's mother rescued his shattered being to preserve it inside a glass tomb in her keep, safely hidden beneath the surface of the ocean. This was his punishment for spending an eternity wanting only Starfire and no one else. However, Jerick has the ability to enter the dreamscape, and Starfire once again senses his presence entering her mind, stirring the old feelings from deep within. Jacy, on the other hand, is an honorable family man. He and Starfire have a young daughter, who rides atop his shoulders as they stroll along a beach. The three of them have no idea that a powerful foe lurks in the depths nearby, waiting for the perfect opportunity to confront them. Jerick's mother is searching for the power to free her son from his icy prison, and she believes that Starfire might be the answer. Unsure, she secretly collects the blood of Starfire's young daughter with the hope that it will be potent enough to release his bonds. It fails. His silence is broken, but he is not free. Distraught, she returns and threatens Starfire herself. She must give up Jacy, free Jerick, and bond with him in eternal union-or Jerick's mother will destroy all of human life. Starfire must decide once and for all if her new life with Jacy and their daughter is more important than an entire planet's well-being. This final written chapter of the Starfire series finds the heroine in her most difficult position yet, as every right decision she makes still comes with tragic consequences and increasing stakes. Dazzling imagery and imaginative worlds are wrought with the passion and emotion that Starfire fans have come to know and love. The fourth installment brings relentless tension and breathtaking settings that capture familiar human conflict but release the confines of our present reality in order to take readers on an adventure to distant realms. Young adults and teenagers with the desire for romance will relish this indulgence in fantasy. Past and present literally collide as Starfire's old love for Jerick resurfaces, and she wages battle with her ancestral spirit-being, who is trying to take over the body bestowed upon her. Starfire's only true allies are the members of the Night Howlers, a shrewd tribe of guardians devoted to a long tradition of protecting princesses. How will she reconcile this tug-of-war between two loves? Can she manage the pressures of her own foremother and Jerick's monstrous mother, and save the countless souls on her home planet-including that of her sons and daughter? Who will she choose, Jerick or Jacy? And what will the consequences be? The immortal Starfire story will continue on in the fantasy realm for eternity, but the rest of her existence begins in Starfire Evermore.
About the Author: Though Katrina Thompson currently works in the customer service sector, her passion for whimsical settings and adventures to far-off places is a part of everything she does. Her writing the Starfire series over the past four years has allowed her to grow along with her characters and express her own thoughts and experiences through their lives. Thompson grew up in a somewhat sheltered household, which she believes enabled her to stay grounded and allowed her to figure out her personal identity on her own terms, without the world's telling her what to like and who to be. This heightened level of self-awareness has armed her with the ability to make certain aspects of each of her characters a reflection of herself.
