Satomi, once a brilliant violinist, is now known as the Queen of Hell. Having sold her soul to the Devil, she needs to collect seven other souls to buy her own back. Katrina, a teen runaway who lives off cam work and plays game music on her Chinese-made violin, is next on her list. Lan Tran is an intergalactic refugee, on the run with her kids escaping the Endplague, when she meets Satomi. The writing is hypnotic in its poetry and Light From Uncommon Stars delights in the way that Ryka pairs the frivolous with the truly spectacular. CW: sexual assault, transphobia
