Holmberg Star Mother Series 2 primary works 2 total works Book 1 Star Mother by Charlie N. Holmberg’s worldbuilding is unique but rushed, encompassing gods, galaxies, love affairs, and epic warfare in a short span of pages. In the world she creates, the Earth is much like ours but without the technology, and humans worship a Sun god. Sought by gods and mortals alike, Ceris finds herself caught in the middle of the eternal war between Sun and Moon and goes on the run with a mysterious man named Ristriel. Holmberg follows up her Spellbreaker duology with a new fantasy series, which kicks off with STAR MOTHER. She attempts to return to her family on Earth, but discovers that 700 years have passed during her time with Sun. Unloved by her betrothed, Ceris volunteers to be the one to lay with Sun and birth a star-though she knows star mothers die in the process of giving birth. When the torch is lit above the church in Ceris Wenden’s village, it signals that a star has died, and the Sun seeks a vessel to birth another star child. A woman tries to find her place in the cosmos in this jam-packed celestial fantasy from Holmberg ( Spellmaker). ![]()
