The Lightyears Between Us
Hardcover – December 2, 2025
by Shannon K. English
A fierce, slow-burn sapphic space odyssey perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth, The 100, and character-driven, enemies-to-lovers sci-fi.
Seventeen-year-old noble Will Arrex has been raised to be composed, calculating, and everything that a daughter of political power should be. Her classmate Paige Tarrant, however, is her opposite in every way—fiery, outspoken, and unafraid to challenge Will at every turn. They were never meant to get along… and certainly never meant to be a team.
Every twenty-five years, the Eden Space Station selects students by lottery to pilot the Laikas, a fleet of exploratory vessels sent to seek out humanity’s next home. Will was never supposed to be chosen—but the impossible happens.
Forced together aboard Laika 15, Will and Paige find their bitter rivalry slowly melting into something far more complicated. But their mission quickly turns from hopeful to deadly as they uncover a devastating truth: Laika 15 was never meant to return.
Trapped in deep space, isolated from everyone they’ve ever known, Will and Paige must navigate terrifying revelations, impossible choices, and the growing feelings that threaten to consume them. To survive, they must bridge not only the literal lightyears separating them from home—but the emotional ones that have always kept them apart.
A blend of science fiction, queer romance, and high-stakes survival, The Lightyears Between Us is a gripping tale of resilience, love, and what it truly means to defy the future you were told was yours.
