Universe of Lost Messages (The Charismites) by Janet Stilson

There is a universe where messages go when they are lost — not deleted, not forgotten, but floating in the digital equivalent of the space between stars. Cheeta LaVera finds her way there, following a thread of grief toward a surrogate father who reportedly died in a freak accident and left something for her to find.

The Charismites are like characters from a myth you haven’t heard yet — people with powers that bend the world toward them, and because of that, hunted by those who want to use them. Izzie and Tristan were never safe. They were too necessary.

Stilson writes a story about connection: how it survives distance, absence, and the deliberate interference of those who want to sever it. The lost messages are waiting to be found. The people who sent them are waiting too.
