For Darkness Shows the Stars is a retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion set in a dystopian future. The story follows Elliot North, a girl from a privileged background who feels the weight of her family's legacy as they uphold the social order after a devastating event known as the Reduction, which decimated the population and altered societal structures. Elliot struggles with her feelings for her childhood love, Kai, who comes from a lower status as a “Reduced.” As tensions rise and past choices resurface, Elliot must navigate love, class conflict, and her own identity while confronting the true meaning of freedom and sacrifice.
