In a realm governed by the Stars themselves, Lorcan Winslow is determined to prove his worth. Never mind what his father says! To do that, he is going to have to polish his soul until it shines brighter than any of his peers: studying 'til his Tutor runs out of snide eyebrows to raise, competing with his friends (is it really competition if they have no chance?), cultivating his many talents, and ultimately living up to the Winslow name, all to curry the Favor of the Stars. Only then can he be happy, and perhaps, only then, will his family be made whole again. Ugh, if only the Childe of Light would just do their job and destroy Death once and for all, instead of getting involved in petty terrorist squabbles and introducing chaos to the order of the Heavens, because Lorcan may just Waste away before he has the chance to ascend and become a Star himself! Full of hijinks, friendship, sky pirates!, mystery, adventure, and- ick- romance??! All Lorcan asked for was an exceptional life, fame, fortune, and a place in the Stars. Was that really too much to ask?? -_-
