Star in a Jar: Book 1 - Juniper Lane

The storms arrived first. The fear came after.Quiet, observant Lux O’Hare has always noticed the things other people overlook... the hum in the air before a storm, shadows that shift the wrong way, and the strange feeling that the world is holding its breath.That summer becomes impossible to ignore after a single photograph and the arrival of a boy in the abandoned blue house across the street.When Caelum Dalal moves into the neighborhood, Lux realizes she’s not the only one seeing the strange storms gathering over their quiet Georgia suburb. Colors pulse inside the clouds. Lights drift through the trees at night. And somewhere beneath Juniper Lane, something ancient seems to be waking up.As Lux and Caelum begin uncovering impossible patterns hidden throughout their town, the storms grow stranger, the lights begin behaving in unnatural ways, and reality itself slowly starts bending around them.But not every light means safety.Dark shapes begin appearing near the tree line during storms, bringing emotional shifts, distorted gravity, and growing fear across the neighborhood. And the deeper Lux and Caelum go, the more their dreams begin feeling less like imagination... and more like warnings.Now Lux must decide how far she’s willing to go to uncover the truth before whatever is moving through the darkness reaches them first.Star in a Jar is an atmospheric coming-of-age fantasy filled with cosmic mystery, hidden worlds, strange storms, friendship, wonder, and the terrifying realization that the universe may already be far more alive than anyone realizes.
