About this ebook
In the stifling summer of 1998, seventeen-year-old Elara Vance feels the weight of Oakhaven, a town defined by its defunct paper mill and the suffocating expectations of its inhabitants. But beneath the surface of this sleepy valley, a yearning for something more ignites within Elara. She finds a reluctant mentor in Leo Sterling, a reclusive former artist whose dusty studio offers a sanctuary from the town's decay. As the summer unfolds, Elara is drawn into a complex web of burgeoning first love with the enigmatic Finn Holloway, a friendship with the ambitious Maya Chen that begins to fray under the pressure of impending adulthood, and the haunting secrets of Oakhaven's past, whispered from the abandoned mill. Can she forge an identity separate from the rust-colored landscape of her youth, or will the ghosts of lost innocence and unspoken truths forever bind her to this place? Rust & Starlight is a poignant coming-of-age story that captures the intoxicating, heartbreaking intensity of a summer that changes everything, exploring the delicate balance between belonging and the relentless pull of the unknown.
