At the dawn of time, there was said to be nothing but darkness.
The same could be told of Ailnirha centuries later, now shrouded by the same Black Mist that has haunted the Countries since the beginning of time.
One of many cursed by the Mist, Wren has always been an outcast. Scorned. Abandoned. Unwanted. But when she encounters a strange Man, who acts more like a lord than the pauper He appears, her life is forever changed.
She isn’t the only one altered by the Man. Soon all of Ailnirha is feeling His touch, and light begins to break into the darkest of shadows.
But the Mist doesn’t give up its hold on the elves that easily.
How can one hold out hope when darkness threatens to overtake them all?
A YA allegorical fantasy telling the story of Christ’s death and resurrection.
That’s the blurb for Lucy Peterson’s newly released novelette, When the Stars Shine Again! I got so excited about this story when she started sharing some sneak peeks, and am equally excited to share all the fun info about this story today! Biblical allegories have a way of worming their way deep into my heart – the familiar stories told a different way just magnify the beauty and power of it – so I cannot wait to read this story and hopefully share my review of it!
For now, here’s what other readers have to say!

I’m so excited for Lucy! I plan on reading it, but not sure when. It would be the first allegorical fantasy I’ve read that I can remember. 😀 I think they can be powerful because Jesus told parables, some of which were allegories (I think? Like the women with 10 lamps).

Aww, same!! 😊 Wow! That’s exciting! YES. 🙌 I love how He used parables to picture those truths in a new, relatable way, which made the deeper meaning behind them even more profound. (One of the reasons I love allegories are because of the symbolism. My brain just loves symbolism. 😂)
Have you ever read The Chronicles of Narnia?

I actually haven’t read TCoN, but I do plan on reading the books this year, along with several (*cough* tons *cough*) of unread classics/favorites. 😀

Haha, I get that! I hope you enjoy them!! 😉 (That’s kind of an unofficial goal of mine too…there are a lot of classics I still haven’t finished or begun that I’d like to read this year! XD)
