A letter about an East German traitor known only as “The Wolf” propels Henry out of academia and into Violet’s life.

J'nell Ciesielski ~ THE BRILLIANCE OF STARS

 

Welcome… to Hope-Inspired Stories, for anyone who’d like to discover more about books and stories that uplift and encourage. While teaching high school art, I discovered I was as thrilled as our students when they won awards or were acknowledged for their accomplishments, and to lift up other people’s good works was very gratifying. It is my hope you are blessed with a message of grace as I was, through the words of authors featured here. So please join me in welcoming writers of fiction and nonfiction; of romance, suspense, historical and contemporary stories, as they share their work. 

For the first two weeks of the month of November 🌂 it is my pleasure to present author J'nell Ciesielski with her latest release, THE BRILLIANCE OF STARS...


Publisher: ‏Thomas Nelson (November 1, 2022)

Amid the chaos of the Great War, two elite assassins learn precisely how dangerous it is to have something—or someone—worth losing.

Washington, DC, 1914. Ivy Olwen knows how to survive on the streets without two coins to rub together. Then destiny thrusts her into the nest of a covert agency of assassins sworn to drive back the world’s darkness, and she acquires a new set of lethal skills. Her education—from explosives to etiquette, sharpshooting to sabotage—is as far reaching as the organization’s missions. But it’s the hours she spends among the towering bookshelves in the library and stargazing on the roof with Agent Jack Vale that make her heart fly.

Jack knew plenty of hardship before the agency refined his rough edges, transforming him into the man who never misses. But he didn’t know the feeling of home until Ivy entered his world. Now Jack’s heart drums with a singular purpose: he will fight for her, fight alongside her. No matter the cost.

When the pair is sent on a seemingly simple mission to take down Russia’s newest and most dangerous arms dealer—a soulless man using the Great War as an opportunity to further his own depraved agenda—they discover that no amount of training could have prepared them for a manhunt that takes them across the frozen tundra, to the Crimean Peninsula, and along the Trans-Siberian Railway . . . only to discover that there is evil in the world they will never understand.

The first book of an epic duology from bestselling author J’nell Ciesielski, The Brilliance of Stars incorporates her signature blend of thrilling adventure, glamorous espionage, and sweeping romance.
