Peculiar Stars
The newly announced standalone contemporary romance novel from New York Times bestseller Rebecca Yarros.
The news follows Amazon Prime’s recently announced “Fourth Wing” TV adaptation. Michael B. Jordan will serve as executive producer on the series through his production company, Outlier Society. Other named collaborators include Lisa Joy (co-creator of “Westworld”) and Meredith Averill (co-creator of” Locke & Key”). Yarros is also expected to work closely with the team that is set to bring her books to life.
“Peculiar Stars” will be a standalone book, and Yarros asks readers to meet her back in the real world, temporarily swapping the intensity of Basgiath War College, dragons and military orders for the drama of becoming a castaway alongside ship crew and your romantic interest. The book is now available for preorder online through both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
