Don't Burn Too Bright

In a galaxy still smoldering from wars past, three souls dance on the precipice of redemption and loss. Don't Burn Too Bright is a poetic sci-fi odyssey that defies conventional boundaries, speaking to the lost and searching hearts of our generation.

Xander walks a tightrope between person and machine. Once a living weapon, he's now a fallen clockwork angel stitched back together from the ashes of his demise. Everyone thinks he died three years ago, including the only two people who gave his existence meaning: Gwen, his fierce partner-in-arms, and Isadora, whose introspective wisdom once anchored his personhood.

Haunted by worlds they failed to save and life without their beloved friend, Gwen and Isadora seek oblivion through the flickering Great Gates. Xander catches them just as they fall through, catapulting all three into an unknown future.

In a verdant city thrumming with energy, they face the weight of their shared past and the chasm three years carved between them. Xander's unaffected exterior conceals a tortured soul, Isadora battles her demons, and Gwen struggles to reconcile the warrior she was with the person she longs to become.

Told through Isadora's poignant journal entries, this imaginative tale is for dreamers, outcasts, and anyone caught between who they were and who they might become. A stardust-strewn path home.

This isn't a story about the end. This is what happens after.
