A haunted spaceship. A missing sister. A thrill ride that will leave you breathless.
Absidy is a ghost magnet, a sensitive person spirits flock to when they can't cross over. After her brutal past, she spends her reclusive existence melting iron into bite-sized pieces. Whether ancient paper clips or nails, consuming iron is the only thing that keeps the ghosts away.
But when Absidy's sister goes missing in deep space, Absidy vows to find her. She boards the first ship she can - a ship that turns out to be haunted.
To keep the malicious ghosts from killing her, the alluring bad boy pilot gives her a small bundle of all the iron on the ship. But their growing relationship is tested with the crew's prying eyes and hidden secrets.
While the ship sails into deep space, it's not just her sister's life that Absidy fears for. It's her own, as well. Especially since her stash of iron has shrunk to zero.

Haunted Stars Series

The war, we'd found out, had never ended, at least from the Saelis' point of view. They wanted all humans to suffer the same fate as our home planet, the same fate as half their species. Saelis females had been slaughtered due to the parasites that lived under their scales - only females, since the parasite drove males mad with hunger. The parasites fed on iron, a plentiful food source since the metal made up the Saelis diet and the Saelis' home planet was made of iron. These parasites also powered the Ring Guild's space-bending iron rings, which created enough energy to travel the distance between solar systems faster than light. The parasites also swam through my veins, rushing a high through my body when I sucked down pieces of iron. The high was an addiction, as well as a lifesaver. I craved iron, which was the only thing that kept the malicious ghosts that had tormented me my whole life away. As I said, my life was not the regular kind.
