And Heroes Fall

by Root H. Petrichor

One by one, the Protectors are disappearing. No one knows where they've gone, and no one knows if they'll be coming back. After Night's experience in prison, he's only trying to move on to a more peaceful future when he seemingly disappears off the face of the earth. Star is left to fend for his newly acquired boyfriend with minimal clues. So far, all Star has to work with A short note that tells him he has two weeks, or else a rebellion would do something horrible. The terms of the agreement were not listed. 2. The newfound knowledge that Night's parents and Troy were a part of the rebellion--but he can't talk to either of them without giving that knowledge away.3. One ominous warning from an intern from the Solar Works research department, who also disappeared entirely after giving that warning. 4. A new president who Star really, really hates. Star has to put together the puzzle without knowing who will be kidnapped next. Odd alliances are formed, new enemies are found, and Star finally puts together the pieces just before a battle of epic proportions. Star and Night may have survived Pluto, but when you're a Protector, catastrophe follows you. All they can hope is to survive to see each other one last time, to build their own family, and possibly to feed the pigeons before the next monumental tragedy hits.
