The Glass Garden cover

From the author of The Night Library of Sternendach comes a haunting sci-fi horror for fans of Jeff VanderMeer and Lina Rather.

Dr. Therese Blake is a homebody archaeologist devoted to the history of planet Earth. But when her sister Lissy makes a stunning discovery near an abandoned colony on a distant exoplanet, the sisters team up to discover its secrets.

Eerie, luminescent images cover the walls of an underground cavern. The glass garden looks like a payday to Lissy, who’s been struggling to turn a profit to keep her salvage crew fed and paid. Therese, however, insists on careful academic procedure. She can’t figure it out: Is the anomaly an artificial creation–or a living organism?

As the anomaly’s mystery draws the sisters into an obsessive orbit, it turns out neither greed nor science can offer protection from its relentless gravity.

Praise for The Night Library of Sternendach

“Revel in every turn of phrase in this lyrical, classical romance of Kunigunde Heller, trapped between her family and tradition, and her own desires kindled under the starry sky in The Night Library of Sternendach.”— Margaret S. McGraw, editor of Lawless Lands and Predators in Petticoats

“Lévai debuts with a lush, modern take on the trope of supernaturally star-crossed lovers... This operatic love story caters to many beloved tropes while providing a fresh perspective and building toward an unusual, bittersweet ending that explores ‘how love costs more than it seems.’"—Publishers Weekly

“Gorgeously romantic in both style and story. Lévai’s timeless tale will sweep you off your feet with immortal dealings and human emotion.”—Matthew Vesely, author of Elegy for the Undead
