About this ebook
"All her existence, Etria had wanted to be a Star Catcher. Not a Star Watcher or even a Star Seeker, anybody could look for and keep track of the stars. No, she wanted to catch them."
In a galaxy that set her up to fail, Etria's journey to capture stars challenges traditional views and brings about change.
Etria, a determined stella, defies expectations and becomes a Star Catcher despite her physical differences. Teaming up with Maron, her own personal Star Keeper, the two set off on a mission to catch stars. Through their many cycles together and growing relationship, Etria's self-perception changes and echoes into her cluster, challenging the stella culture's narrow ideals.
Join these mesmerizing space mermaids in this short and tear-jerking sci-fi adventure as they defy conventions and ignite the spirit of acceptance, inspiring others to embrace their differences.
