Star Mother by Charlie N Holmberg (2021) 47North
Some years,
the Sun demands a random village provide a consort for him, to become a star
mother so he can replace a star that died. This year, the village of
Endwever needs to provide a moral womb. Ceris Wenden is chosen. The
birthing of a star is always fatal for the mother. But Ceris
survives. When she returns to her village, it’s not nine months later, it’s
seven hundred years. She hardly recognizes the village because it has
changed so much. But she is recognized since there is a statue of her in
the town’s cathedral. She determines to find some of her family’s
descendants. She encounters a desperate godling, Ristriel, who leads her
to her destination, but not without finding themselves in the middle of the war
between the Sun and the Moon.
