About the book
Vanessa is sensible, capable and usually far too cautious to gamble with something she does not understand. One moment of lust changes that. Trusting her best friend’s claim that the spell has already been tested, she performs it and discovers too late that she has been lied to.
What appears is Portia, or at least something wearing Portia’s perfect form. She is everything Vanessa has ever fantasised about, armed with supernatural power and a very literal interpretation of the bargain Vanessa has just made.
Every Single Star turns Vanessa’s strongest desire into the thing hunting her. Protecting her freedom means resisting the physical manifestation of everything she wants most, while Portia spends three days proving just how difficult that is going to be.
Character, pressure and choice
The tension at the centre
Portia’s power is frightening enough on its own. Vanessa cannot outrun her, overpower her or even explain what is happening, because the magic prevents her from telling anyone the truth.
Worse, the person Vanessa trusted enough to try the spell lied to her. She is trapped inside a supernatural game she never knowingly agreed to play, armed only with her knowledge of magic, her stubbornness and whatever willpower she can summon while Portia keeps tempting her with the very fantasy that caused the problem in the first place.
At the centre
Two women. One devious trap.
Willpower and survival
Vanessa
A good university student with a serious interest in magic, Vanessa is sensible, headstrong and fiercely loyal. She rarely makes reckless decisions, but one enormous lapse in judgement leaves her fighting for her freedom against something far more powerful than she ever expected to summon.
Power and possession
Portia
The entity chooses the form of Vanessa’s ultimate fantasy and appears to possess power with almost no practical limit. Seductive, playful and terrifyingly certain of the rules, Portia insists the bargain must be honoured, even if that means taking Vanessa into her own dimension forever.
