25 years ago, a certain multidimensional Train reached across time and space to bring a town's worth of people to the then-uninhabited Mirrelm. Displaced with no way home, they were forced to forge a new community, and now two and half decades later stands the town of Starhaven. Finally beginning to move out of survival mode, they are newly threatened by shadows moving on the horizon - the Great Beasts are awakening, and the people of Starhaven are afraid.

And then, one night, a person arrives. The Train did not bring them, but rather it seems that the very stars in the sky created them. Their purpose, they tell the townsfolk, is to protect Starhaven.

Commander Iliya Ray, leader of Starhaven, welcomes the Starsent enthusastically, and quickly directs them towards studying the Great Beasts so that they may be taken down. On their continual quests out into the wilds of Mirrelm, the Starsent is soon joined by Wye, a young man who is part of the first generation to be born in Mirrelm.

(My dream goal is to one day publish this, so unfortunately that's where the summary ends ^^''! But if you're interested in reading more, go check out the character pages to learn more about the people of Starhaven!)

• The very first thing I knew about STF was the ending! It gripped me so hard that I immediately knew I had to commit to telling this story
• If I had my way, Iliya would be the main character. She's my favorite <3 ("why isn't she the main character then?" Because the narrative calls for the Starsent to be the focus)
• In an early draft of STF, Treble (who is now the blacksmith) was the leader of Starhaven, with Iliya being a nomadic traveler that would occasionally join the Starsent on their journeys into Mirrelm. Iliya took on a much more villain-like role in this draft, being much more explicitly manipulative and selfish.
• There definitely is an alternate world where I landed on an ocean theme instead of space, especially given the amount of ocean-themed songs on my STF playlist!!
