The Moonlit Messenger and the Celestial Rebellion
Shadows of the Forgotten Skyway by J.C. Martin
When stars begin vanishing from the night sky—not fading but being erased—Leo Finch discovers his silver key has transformed into a fountain pen pulsing with celestial ink. The Starlight Express returns with a desperate warning: "The Forgotten have returned."
"They're coming for the messengers. The stories the universe erased are rewriting themselves back into existence."
Leo, Noodle the memory-wounded ferret, and ink-mage Lyra must race across the unraveling Skyway to stop the Forgotten—ancient narratives deemed too dangerous to exist. But their enemies have already corrupted the celestial guardians:
- ✔ The Clockwork Fox, now a tarnished puppet speaking in riddles of broken time
- ✔ The Weeping Atlas, drowning in memories it was never meant to hold
- ✔ The Hollow Quill, the Author's first creation that excretes lies instead of ink
- ✔ The Librarian of Lost Endings, imprisoned in her own archive
As reality peels back like old wallpaper, Leo learns the terrible truth: to lock away the Forgotten again, one of them must become what they fear most. His grandmother's fountain pen holds the key—but using it may cost him his very existence.

About the Storyteller
J.C. Martin crafts worlds where ink flows like starlight and forgotten tales demand to be remembered. By day, they collect antique fountain pens and decode celestial maps. By night, they whisper stories to a real-life ferret muse (who may or may not be Noodle's prototype).
Behind the Book: The Inkwell Nebula was inspired by a spilled ink bottle that stained Martin's childhood desk—a "happy accident" that became the heart of the Celestial Rebellion.
