Between the Stars

"Most people wait for the storm to pass. I think I'd rather learn how to dance in it with you."
In a cramped attic studio overlooking the gray rooftops of Paris, Aryan paints shadows. A man who has traded human connection for the cold certainty of oil and canvas, he is a master of the lonely colors-until he sees her.
Zoya. A girl in a crimson dress dancing on a rain-slicked rooftop, defying the gravity of a world that tells her she is dying.
She has a list-a Gallery of Firsts-a collection of moments she must experience before her "clock" runs out. Aryan has the vision she lacks, and Zoya has the soul he lost. Together, they strike a desperate bargain: he will help her finish her gallery, and in exchange, she will teach him how to see the world like a human again.
From a midnight heist of a flower market to a stolen boat on the Seine, their love becomes a defiant masterpiece. But as the shadows of Zurich loom and a wealthy rival threatens to take Zoya back to a world of sterile white rooms, Aryan must face the ultimate artistic challenge:
How do you paint a meteor before it disappears?
Spanning fifty years and three generations, Between the Stars is a heart-wrenching exploration of the legacy we leave behind. It is a story for anyone who has ever looked at a gray sky and searched for the light. It is a reminder that while our palettes may be limited, what we do with the colors is infinite.
