Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: Romance, Historical, [name_f]Fantasy[/name_f]
Time Period: The book methodically switches from seven years in the future to way back in the A.D. ages.
Location: A mythical kingdom in the stars known as [name_f]Io[/name_f]*.
Brief Plot: For ages, the [name_f]Io[/name_f] (a race of celestial beings bearing otherworldly powers that were given to them by gods) have kept the human world peaceable and safe from strife or destruction. But when the gods above begin to fight, the [name_f]Io[/name_f] people lose control of their powers and the [name_f]Earth[/name_f] begins to unravel. The fate of the world-- [name_f]Io[/name_f] and human-- lies in the hands of a young woman ([name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]).
Character Description ([name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]):
she is nineteen in human years
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] has flaming red hair and a fiery personality to match
she has bright turquoise eyes
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] is quite tall for [name_f]Io[/name_f] standards (The [name_f]Io[/name_f] people are very tall; the average height is almost seven feet tall for an adult)
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] has the ability of time-travel
I previously posted a thread on the Writer’s Corner to find a name for [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]. Now that I have her name, I need a name for the book! I am looking for a title that has to do with stars, the moon, the galaxy, constellations, anything that has to do with the sky and the things in it! Any titles are welcome, as long as they meet that standard. Thank you in advance!
*For those of you who saw my earlier thread (1. [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] vs. [name_f]Nerissa[/name_f]) you might have noticed that I changed the kingdom/ people’s name to [name_f]Io[/name_f]. It was previously Ostara, but that didn’t really fit. I can picture the kingdom and people a lot better with the name [name_f]Io[/name_f].

I could probably give you things not star related if you give me some key words you’d like in there.
@dantea - Some words I would like in the title include stars, eclipse, moon, sky, and creatures. You don’t have to put them all in one title; that would sound horrible, lol! Thanks in advance.
Maybe: Faces in the Stars
Watching the [name_u]Sky[/name_u] Fall/ (Stars Fall)
Creatures of the [name_u]Sky[/name_u]/Stars/Eclipse
Among the Stars/[name_f]Moon[/name_f]/[name_u]Sky[/name_u]
Saving the Stars
[name_m]Fate[/name_m] of the Stars/[name_f]Moon[/name_f]/[name_u]Sky[/name_u]
There are some others with the words you suggested, my brain ran out of ideas again
I often use titles from a phrase in the story itself. For example, the title of my online novel, A Million Sherds, references the shattering of my character’s carefully constructed persona in the first chapter, and foreshadows the shattering of the mirror and the sherd of glass that he uses to attempt suicide later on. I also use lines from poems that have some symbolic connection to the story. For example, my novel The Mortal Part comes from a line from a poem called “The Triumph of [name_m]Achilles[/name_m]” by [name_f]Louise[/name_f] Gluck; the story is life after the loss of actor [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] [name_m]Ross[/name_m]'s spouse [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]; [name_m]Achilles[/name_m], of course, is mourning the death of [name_m]Hector[/name_m]. I find this is an effective way to title a script.

Maybe you can use the word flames in the title to represent [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] since she is the on e who can restore all of the balance. Or something with the zodiacs and balancing things out. Not really good at titles, but here it goes… Lol.

I’ve spent half of my life in the Commonwealth…“sherds” there. I continue to use British spellings even though I’m back in the US. for some reason, they just flow better for me…
