I’m so excited to host the review tour for The Stars Led me to You - Rowan Fiscal

🔮Genre: Romantasy

🔮Tropes: star-crossed lovers, small coastal town, love triangle, coming of age, magical
realism, and choice between destiny and free will.

🔮Synopsis:
The stars remember what the heart forgets.
Clara Palacios just wanted to take a risk on love before senior year slipped away. Then she met
Ulises “Uli” Montes on the beach near Seladora Isle, and everything changed. Their
connection? Instant. Intense. Like they’d known each other forever ♾️

Clara and Uli never meant to dig up the past. But when they uncover the legend of a painter and
his wife, two souls who died decades ago but swore they’d find each other again, their bond
starts to feel like more than just chance. Like something written long before they ever met.
But love isn’t easy when real life is falling apart. Uli is barely holding things together with his
mother’s illness, his father's anger that's getting harder to ignore, and the future he’s clinging to
is slipping away. And Clara? She doesn’t fit the life his parents expect him to live, no matter how
deeply he cares for her 🩷

Then there’s Locke, the sharp-witted ranch hand who makes her laugh and asks nothing of her
past. Clara fits without even trying.
No pressure. No pain. Just possibility.
Now, Clara is caught between the boy who feels like a love written in the stars…and the one
who makes her feel like she belongs.
The island remembers the love that time tried to bury. But even on Seladora Isle, love must still
find its way through the present.

It sounds like you may enjoy my self-published a fantasy novel, Swells Over Still Waters, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... — No sequels. No magic or powers or trolls or goblins or chosen-ones or any of that — just natural wonder. No romance either. I guess you could call it cozy ?

It’s sort of a pirate story. If you enjoyed The Queens Thief series by Meghan Whalen Turner, or the Brotherband Chronicles by John Flannigan, or even Isles of the Emberdark by Branden Sanderson, you’ll probably like this.

It’s a story about dealing with one’s past and the baggage of parents, and about self-discovery. It features an intricate ecosystem of fantastic creatures, all inspired by real ones, and a fascinating history filled with quotes from in-world texts to open each chapter, and a detailed map I made in an illustrator.

I did all the writing, editing, artworks, and audio work by myself — no AI whatsoever. If you want to check out my self-narrated audiobook, it’s available on my Substack, to be completed at the end of 2025: https://open.substack.com/pub/losersf...

and if you just want a copy of the full book, no strings attached, that’s here (Word, PDF, EPUB): https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile... If you read it, thanks. If you review it, thanks twice.
