Starfall follows the journey of Xenia and Will as they set out to fix an important relay station, but this routine mission becomes extraordinary in more ways than one.
Xenia, categorized as an integrated human, is a tech expert, aided by the artificial intelligence amalgamated with her own mind, and presents as genderless. Will, however, comes from a gendered world where integrated intelligence is a totally foreign concept and is discriminated against. But being forced off the road due to inclement weather is just the start of their trials. They'll have to negotiate with mystical beings at an eerie unplotted mansion and their abduction by the radical group, the White Violets.
Together, Xenia and Will must find their way home in an unexpected voyage that will change everything from their physical appearance to their belief systems about the world and their place in it.
One of the best things about sci-fi is the new worlds to escape to, and Starfall does not disappoint in this area. From the drowning of the world we know to the creation of a new world called Riverine to the conception of utopian cities like Harmonie, the worldbuilding and the physical landscape of Starfall present an interesting and immersive backdrop for the story.
