Lucy Clairmont's family treasured the magic of the past, and her childhood fascination with stories of the high seas led her to become a marine archaeologist. But when tragedy strikes, it's Dashel, an American forensic astronomer, and his knowledge of the stars that may help her unearth the truth behind the puzzle she's discovered in her family home.
Two hundred years earlier, the seeds of love are sown between a boy and a girl who spend their days playing in a secret sea cave, while the privileged young son of the estate looks on, wishing to join. As the children grow and war leads to unthinkable heartbreak, a story of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption unfolds, held secret by the passage of time.
As Lucy and Dash journey to a mysterious old estate on the East Sussex coast, their search leads them to a community of souls and a long-hidden tale that may hold the answers--and the healing--they so desperately seek.

My Thoughts:
Set the Stars Alight is an amazing story in finding the
treasures God has for us as we discover our true passions. I adore the cover
for Amanda Dykes newest novel Set the Stars Alight. What a beautiful cover! As
for the story, I loved learning the past story before the present timeline
learned the story. The story opens with us, readers, discovering the characters
heart and early passions, then it moves into how those passions guide their
future lives and love. Dash is a fascinating hero who loves the stars and
everything to do with Lucy; whereas, Lucy wants to discover the reality of what
her father's stories mean. As someone who misses her father, I understand the
hurt that can take over with a lost parent. The story is interesting, and the
writing is wonderful. Overall, Set the Stars Alight is a delightful story with
unique characters and unseen twist.
I received a complimentary copy of Set the Stars Alight by Amanda Dykes from Bethany House Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Purchase Set the Stars Alight
