We Are Stardust
A mother in mourning on a mission of vengeance.
A guilt-ridden scientist desperate for redemption.
A cosmic rift that can rewrite their lives—or erase their world.
Perfect for readers who love near-future science fiction, character-driven sci-fi, time-twisting stories, and high-concept speculative fiction, We Are Stardust blends emotional depth with cosmic mystery in a standalone novel about love, loss, and the lengths we’ll go to reclaim what time has taken.
When a mysterious near-Earth rift appears in space, the world calls it a harmless anomaly—until its matter-erasing flares begin wiping cities off the map. For Calida, the devastation is a flare killed her husband and daughter. Certain the rift is being manipulated by Dio, the ruthless trillionaire who controls Earth’s most powerful corporate empire, Calida sets out to expose the truth—no matter the cost.
On the Moon, biomedical scientist Sol pursues a different truth. Haunted by the death of his twin sister, he believes the rift’s time-bending energy may hold the key to curing disease. But when Dio brings him to her lunar base, Sol discovers the rift is far more than a cosmic wound.
It’s alive.
And it’s changing him.
As Calida closes in on Dio’s secrets and Sol uncovers the terrifying consequences of the rift’s power, their fates collide across a decade of fractured timelines. With the rift’s secrets laid bare, the past is theirs to rewrite, but only by wagering their future—and the future of the world itself.
A great match for readers who love the emotional resonance of Emily St. John Mandel, the mind-bending twists of Blake Crouch, the philosophical depth of Ted Chiang, and the grounded yet cinematic worldbuilding of Andy Weir.
Step into a world where time bends, fate fractures, and every choice echoes across the cosmos.

About the author
S.T. Seitz
1 book3 followersS.T. Seitz is a science fiction author, freelance writer, and editor who crafts stories about the future through the lens of what it means to be human.
With a background in biology and a lifelong fascination with living systems—human and otherwise—she creates near-future and speculative science fiction that blends big ideas with emotional depth. Her work explores themes of grief, power, and connection, grounding cosmic concepts in deeply personal stakes.
S.T. fell in love with storytelling in the second grade and wrote her first novel in high school, confirming early on that she prefers imagined worlds to the real one—though she remains deeply invested in both. Her novels in progress have been shortlisted for the Launch Pad Prose Competition and the Andromeda Award.
She lives in the foothills of Colorado with her husband, their wildling daughter, and a small menagerie of animals. When she isn’t writing, she’s outside marveling at the planet, worrying about the planet, or observing its creatures with gentle scientific curiosity.
