Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe Weight of the Stars is a foray into the genre of epic fantasy. Based on observations of both classic and contemporary fantasy, this novel is intended as a response to long-held traditions within the genre. The Weight of the Stars seeks to complicate those familiar tropes and reflect a more diverse world. The purpose of this novel is to spark conversation about contemporary problems through the lens of separation creative fiction affords. In The Weight of the Stars, several disparate heroes find their stories intersecting in strange, sometimes heartbreaking ways, as they struggle to find hope in a world of literal darkness.
