  Summary

  The Children of Starbound is a centuries-old church woven deep into the lives of families like the Buringtons—faithful, obedient, and unquestioning.

  Klaus has never doubted the path laid out for him. Not when the church’s elusive leader begins showing an unsettling interest in him and his family. Not when neighbors vanish without explanation. Not even when he falls for a man who turns his ideas of love, desire, and sin inside out.

  But when memories start to warp, loyalty cracks, and the people he trusts begin to turn on one another, Klaus is forced into a truth he can’t ignore.

  Together with his sister Mary, he must uncover what’s really happening within their “holy” community, confront the shadows of his past, and choose between forbidden love and the faith that shaped him—before they lose everything.
