Book description
Cities of Smoke and Starlight isn't just a book. It's a world you step into.
Through the audiobook, you hear the hiss of hover engines, the crackle of ancient artifacts, and the sharp, wounded edges of two people trying to rebuild.
Kase. A pilot drowning in guilt, his voice tight with the weight of what he lost.
Hallie. A scholar with a sharp tongue and deeper scars, her words a shield against a world that never fit.
They clash. Shakespeare insults meet sarcastic pilots. It's the slow burn you've been waiting for-deliberate, aching, impossible to look away from. You'll want to yell at the audio, Just kiss already, but you won't. Because the tension is the point.
This isn't just romance. It's the quiet moments:
The way Kase's crew laughs over shared rations.
Hallie's quiet awe at a forgotten artifact, her scholar's mind finding beauty in the broken.
The way they learn to trust, not in grand gestures, but in small, steady choices.
The audio brings it all alive. The tension in their voices. The warmth in the found family moments-the crew's banter, the shared glances that say more than words. You feel their growth, separate and together. Kase learns to hope. Hallie learns to belong.
And the world? It's layered. Steampunk meets ancient magic. The crumbling First Earth ruins whisper secrets. The looming war isn't just battles-it's the weight of history pressing down. You'll hear the urgency in every line.
Readers called it "heart-wrenching." They're right. But it's not just the pain. It's the hope. The way Hallie and Kase, two broken people, choose to fight for each other, not just against the world.
No steam. Just real.
No rushed happy endings. Just two people, slowly, learning to breathe again.
This is the kind of story that stays with you. The kind you listen to on repeat.
Because sometimes, the most powerful love story is the one that starts with a glare... and ends with a hand held in the dark.
Press play. You'll be glad you did.
