Demigod 12
Book 2 of the Tinkered Starsong series
Phex and his newly elevated pantheon begin a galaxy-wide tour as demigods whose intoxicating performances can inspire devotion or cause lethal harm. Popularity brings access and danger in equal measure, with audiences, rival performers, and the aliens administering the divinity all demanding pieces of him. When his lover is placed in competition with his pantheon, Phex must choose between romantic loyalty and the found family that taught him to belong. Emotional and high-energy, this science-fiction sequel suits readers who enjoy music-centered worldbuilding, interstellar tours, queer romance, ensemble relationships, and stories questioning what artists owe their audiences when celebrity becomes a weapon.
