Perfect for you if...

You loved Jane Eyre but wanted it gothic, romantic, and set in the vastness of space with actual consequences.
You're drawn to slow-burn romances where trust and mystery are tangled together, and neither character knows who to believe.
You enjoy atmospheric sci-fi that treats AI as characters, not just plot devices, and rewards rereading for hidden clues.

Maybe not for you if...

You want fast-paced action or heists; this is deliberate and introspective, building tension through whispers and glances.
You need your romantic leads to communicate openly; Stella and Hugo circle each other for pages before anything shifts.
You're looking for a standalone; this is book one and leaves threads hanging for the next instalment.

About this book

Stella Ainsley leaves her engineering job aboard the Stalwart to become a governess on the private ship Rochester, escaping poverty. The Rochester offers abundant resources—no water rationing, extensive libraries, and an AI companion—but Stella soon discovers the ship appears to be haunted and may be connected to a conspiracy threatening the interstellar fleet. Stella forms a connection with the brooding nineteen-year-old Captain Hugo. When multiple attempts on his life occur and the arrival of Bianca Ingram—summoned by Hugo himself—leads to his erratic behavior, Stella's doubts grow. Uncertain whom to trust, she must choose between logic and emotion as she navigates the mounting mysteries surrounding her. This reimagining of Jane Eyre is set in space and combines gothic mystery with romance.
