Bright Star

<p>Bridgette Conner is in her early 20s studying violin at a university in the American South. She's a part-time waitress a full-time creative and for all intents and purposes a pretty normal twenty-something living a pretty normal life. She has senior year finals coming up a few summer classes to round things out and after that? Bridgette hasn't given it much thought.</p><p><br></p><p>One Sunday in 2018 a newcomer enters the diner where she works. And suddenly Bridgette has many many thoughts about what comes next: Magic is for fairytales. Her life has been anything but.</p><p>?</p><p><strong>... Until now.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Bright Star follows Bridgette as she begins to tackle an uncertain constantly changing present based on a past she didn't know was hers to claim. The world in which Bridgette grew up is very different from the possibilities she's now presented with - if she is willing to join forces with Elves and Fairies witches and Sanguisuge coteries Tieflings and Baetalü to make possibility reality.</p><p><br></p><p>Immersed largely in the history of the Salem Witch Trials and Civil Rights Movement melded with modern-day challenges of changing colonizer mindsets and confronting one's own economic and social biases The Meridian Trilogy is as much a fantasy series as it is a lens through which to view twenty-first century politics and global lifestyles. Intensely researched meticulously detailed combining fictional worldbuilding with real-life happenings it's a rarity in the genre ... and perhaps like Bridgette Conner something new in its entirety.</p>
