Wren Sterling doesn't do people. As the pragmatic rehabilitator running Sterling's Safe Haven in the Northern California redwoods, her social life is strictly limited to argumentative badger kits and injured owls. Her sanctuary is her kingdom of orderly, furry chaos. She didn't ask for an addition to the menagerie-especially not one that arrives via atmospheric crash-landing and glows like a radioactive neon sign.
Meet Orion: An Intergalactic Absurdity Specialist having a stellar meltdown.
Orion is a supreme being whose primary responsibility is maintaining the proper gravitational balance of comedic absurdity in the Cosmos. But four billion years of vacuum-staring can get lonely. He's on Earth to undertake a high-concept exploration of the ultimate triumph over entropy: Human Joy. He intended to eat ice cream on a porch. He did not intend to develop a metaphysical attachment to a furious human female who threatens him with a tranquilizer dart every time he materializes a salad fork.
A stellar core anomaly and a wildlife rehabilitator should not have a trajectory that intersects. But as Orion tries to navigate human commerce (horrible), garden hoses (hostile), and blackberry picking (an emotional disaster), Wren's carefully ordered world begins to unravel.
Orion might be integrated into the sanctuary now, but Wren is dealing with a super-being who can cause an electrical grid collapse with a yawn. Can Wren save her Haven from the cosmological property damage of her new neighbor? Can Orion survive his first caffeine rush? And most importantly, can they survive the escalating, undeniable dynamic that is less a slow burn and more a cosmic thermal explosion?
