Some prayers are best left unanswered.
When Stella first moves into the historic Illumination Point lighthouse on the coast of Maine, she has only one desire: to create a masterpiece.
Despite her exotic surroundings and the many opportunities provided by the location, Stella wishes to focus solely on creating a literary magnum opus that will far outlive her, to labor behind her desk until she has achieved greatness. Everything changes when she wishes for a muse, and when the summoned muse appears in a dramatic response.
Aster enters the scene draped in white, godlike and passionate-charming, manipulative, summoned from the deepest abysses of time and myth. Aster is more than Stella ever could have hoped for in a muse, but with the fulfillment of her dreams comes costs she could never hope to recover.
