Among Stars and Earth #1013531

Lyra, a young woman from Vesta, travels to Earth for the first time to specialize at the prestigious Mojave Belt college.
Life at Mojave with her new friends flows peacefully between lectures and labs, but meeting Saber-the aloof, gruff Earth-born brother of her best friend Orion-will turn all her certainties upside down.
Who is Saber, really? Is he the caring guy who looks after her? Or the hot-tempered one who tries every way to push her away?
What thoughts are hidden behind his golden eyes?
A romantic story about the power of love to overcome cultural barriers and personal insecurities, and about the importance of following your dreams while facing family and social expectations.
