The Songs of Stars

A sweeping, allegorical love story of every man and every woman—two souls, separated by centuries, following a melody through time to find each other.

The Songs of Stars is a 55,000-word literary novel about love, memory, and the invisible threads that bind us across centuries. Two lives unfold in separate worlds—one in a time of upheaval and decay, the other in a distant future shaped by renewal—connected only by a haunting melody that recurs in dreams, letters, and fragments of memory. As each protagonist struggles with forces larger than themselves, they begin to sense the presence of the other, like a star just beyond the horizon. The song they share becomes a guide, calling them across time and history toward the truth of their connection. Layered with allegory and symbolism—night skies, constellations, and the music that transcends death—the novel is both an intimate love story and a meditation on the eternal nature of human connection. The Songs of Stars is at once a love story and a timeless allegory—one that speaks to the universal longing we all share: to be truly known, and to find our way home.
