Synopsis
Skye is more than the cold, seemingly-emotionless young woman everyone sees. She is the living, breathing manifestation of the Void, a timeless entity that has always been. She has unknowingly experienced thousands of lives, one of which has left her riddled with trauma and nightmares, self-loathing and fear.
When she meets Vale, the lover from her past, they are plummeted through a series of memories, strewn across dimensions and eventually come to meet their previous selves in the flesh. Together, the four of them strive to piece together their shattered memories while battling the cause of Skye’s suffering: a cold, heartless enemy that has followed her from beyond space and time.
About
Spectral began as a side story to Astral—“What if Skai and Aija were reborn on Earth?” Maybe it was the lack of required world building, maybe it was its lightheartedness compared to Astral’s gloom, but I ended up finishing it first. I considered it Astral’s sequel, and then its sister novel, and now its prequel, in a way.
Spectral, in reality, happens somewhere in the middle of the timeline, and it gave me the idea that I could connect all of my stories in a similar way. I’ve been planning Spectral’s rewrite pretty much since I published it, but I always end up changing something in the grand scheme of things and put it off.
