Star Overhead, Volume 4

By: Zachary Nieves

Narrated by: Zachary Nieves

Shyanne Papillion has a secret. A child born in the age of a budding internet, coupled with a spell stuck in her body most would never have the power to cast, and bullied for things she can't control; these unique circumstances come together to make her who she is today: a closeted erotic artist.

At first, it was simply to vent her frustrations. Later, it became something stimulating to help "scratch the itch." But now, it's an addiction. She despises herself enough as it is, but after years of indulging the itch, she doesn't know how to stop.

Though content to stew in her own self-loathing, Shyanne's inner turmoil is shaken by the appearance of a living legend like a bolt from the blue with the sound of the sun. Of course, this is only the beginning of Shyanne's twisted turn of fate because, shortly afterwards, her childhood tormentor confronts her about her secret.

Deep into the lore of Star Overhead

The previous two stories were mostly contained to their lead characters, but this story gets deeper into the leading lady, Solei, through the unique eyes of Shyanne Papillion. Thanks to a special spell she was born with, Shyanne can see who Solei truly is, and thanks to that, Solei is willing to give her a bit of her trust. But that's not to say that Shyanne's story takes a back seat, no her story is even more involved than those before.

Shyanne has an addiction, a bully, and now a problem. Her bad habits have gotten her into deep trouble, and with even her best friend unwilling to help her solve this, she has nowhere to turn but to Solei. Between herself and Solei, Shyanne tries to find the root cause for her bully's bullying while also trying to figure out what to do with herself. Instead of having someone else to focus on, Shyanne has to turn inward to decide how to proceed while betting her last hope on Solei.

This story is about sorting through self esteem issues through the eyes of a person with very little of that in the first place. If virtue is to hit the mark, when have I ever done that? The themes aren't always explicitly stated in these books, but in this one, they're very well presented.
