Get ready to DEFY THE STARS on April 4th! Check out an excerpt of Claudia’s new interstellar adventure series over on Entertainment Weekly.
DEFY THE STARS by Claudia Gray
Noemi Vidal is seventeen years old and sworn to protect her planet, Genesis. She’s willing to risk anything—including her own life. To their enemies on Earth, she’s a rebel.
He’s a machine.
Abandoned in space for years, utterly alone, Abel has advanced programming that’s begun to evolve. He wants only to protect his creator, and to be free. To the people of Genesis, he’s an abomination.
Noemi and Abel are enemies in an interstellar war, forced by chance to work together as they embark on a daring journey through the stars. Their efforts would end the fighting for good, but they’re not without sacrifice. The stakes are even higher than either of them first realized, and the more time they spend together, the more they’re forced to question everything they’d been taught was true.
Naomi is capable and strong willed but has almost no sense of self worth. Orphaned at an early age she never had the feeling of truly belonging somewhere. After losing the only person she truly connected with she’s ready to sacrifice herself to change the outcome of a battle to buy her people more time in an ongoing war.
Abel is an android, constructed and groomed to fulfil one specific purpose for his creator. Abandoned for decades on a space ship he knows the meaning of loneliness. Yet when Naomi frees him and his programming demands that he accepts her as his new master his main objective stays the same. Find his true master and seek his approval.
Both Naomi and Abel travel together on a risky mission to turn the outcome of the war. Slowly they find out that they are more than the sum of their parts, more than their upbringing or programming.

I love this AND I LOVE that you’re a Robin Hobb fan. Those books broke my heart in the best ways.
Omg! Reylo Robin Hobb fans! I have truly found my people!🙌🙌👊
Bryony and her sisters have come down in the world. Their merchant father died trying to reclaim his fortune and left them to eke out a living in a village far from their home in the city.
But when Bryony is caught in a snowstorm and takes refuge in an abandoned manor, she stumbles into a house full of dark enchantments. Is the Beast that lives there her captor, or a fellow prisoner? Is the house her enemy or her ally? And why are roses blooming out of season in the courtyard?
Armed only with gardening shears and her wits, Bryony must untangle the secrets of the house before she—or the Beast—are swallowed by them.
no. they are dead and scary not in a hot way. yes even the two at the end. 0/10
any of the kaiju from pacific rim
they are big rowdy boys so banging them is inadvisable, but, really, how much do we actually know about them? they could learn to love. 1/10
The Pale Man
absolutely not. eats kids and represents the selfish greed of those in power. -1000000000000/10
The Faun
shifty as heck, always speaking in riddles and half truths. i don’t trust him but i’d bang him. 4/10
(this is where we start getting into creatures that we know are equipped to have sex)
Hellboy
he’s immature, for sure, but he has a good heart and loves kittens. Plus he’s got a rockin bod and a tail, so i’m not sure what else you could want in a bf. 8/10
Abe Sapien
i love this sweet sweet nerdy fish boy. he’s a bit shy and maybe has some boundary issues but all in all he’s a good boy. 9/10
The Gillman (AKA The Asset)
what is there to say about this beautiful boy that hasn’t already been said? he’s sweet, kind, sensual, and has a booty that just won’t quit. when will he steal me away to the Amazon to live forever in his strong arms. 10/10
Point of contention: Hellboy should be ranked higher. He would be an *extremely* good boyfriend, there’s an entire arc about that. Comes back from the dead and gives up the kingdom of Hell to support you. Good. Amazing. Wonderful boyfriend.
Now here are some more:
Sammael, AKA the desolate one
Probably not a great boyfriend. Selfish, doesn’t have time for you. But hey, you’re a monster fucker or you’re not a monster fucker and if you’re a monster fucker then at least this will be a party in the sack, look at all those tentacles .057/10
Prince Nadua
Looooooooook, look, we all sometimes have bad days and low self-esteem and do things that are self-destructive. But there is no excuse for this nonsense, worst boyfriend, wants to destroy humanity, sure his hair looks great and damn those cheekbones but DO NOT. 0/10
Liz
Yes. Serious, committed, knows what she wants, takes no bullshit, loves with all her heart, sees past your flaws but calls you out when you’re being a butt. Liz is the best 17/10
BUT LISTEN, a nice long therapy and Nuada would be fine, he just needs anger management and learn to let it fucking go. JFC I remember back in 2008 when Hellboy II hit the cinemas and I saw that pale chest on the big screen and I heard him speaking elvish and I was lost right then and there and it was a miracle I got out of the cinema on my own, my knees were that weak lol. I would slam that ostentatious asshat on the mattress ten times a day I swear…
