When Cass Hollis chose the name Eleanor alone in the hospital room, she chose it for reasons she could not have fully explained. El, in the oldest available languages, is a word for what lives above the ordinary world and looks down at it with patience. She did not know this yet. She would learn it later. What she knew was that the name was right.
Eleanor is the sequel to Star Child and follows the Hollis-Morrow family’s daughter from birth to age eleven. Structured non-linearly, the novel opens in Eleanor’s present and then moves backward through the years in which she became aware of what she carries: one new ability per chapter, none of them named in genre terms, all of them received rather than imposed.
By the final chapter, the green notebook is in Eleanor’s own keeping. She is the one asking the questions now. The adults in her life are watching, with the particular tenderness of people who prepared for a moment they could not quite predict.
Release: sometime in late 2026.
