About this listen

Wisteria Elken (she/her) has always wanted to be a stellarnaut, to be entrusted with the monumental responsibility of linking the terrestrial world with the millions living in the zero-g environments of spacesteads. To do so, she’ll need to leave the only home she’s ever known and journey to the whirling lights and towering spires of humanity’s greatest metropolis, the City of Poets.

One problem. Well, a million problems, but one particularly pressing problem: Wist is transgender.

From everything she’s heard, the executives of Kell Princeton, the premiere spacefaring ultracorp, will not allow for a transgender stellarnaut. Can Wist survive the grueling trials set forth by Kell Princeton without revealing her true identity?

This sci-fi novel set in an entirely other world weaves together themes of LGBTQ+ romance, the overcoming of anxiety and bigotry, a revolutionary spirit, a love for poetry, and rich explorations of dystopian and cyberpunk genres.
