Eternal

Dae is a navigator of extraordinary talent. When the woman she loves dies, Dae does what no navigator has done before: she preserves the moment of dying. A single golden afternoon, frozen in eternity. Perfect light. Perfect warmth. Perfect love, held forever in the amber of stopped time.

Dae lives inside that moment for years. The world outside continues without her. Lira — the navigator-teacher who loves Dae — waits. And waits. And waits. Until Dae must make the hardest choice a person can make: to shatter perfection and return to a world where things end.

A novel about grief, impermanence, and the radical act of choosing a messy, temporary, living love over a flawless, eternal, frozen one. Eternal is the second novel in The Navigations.
