This follows Tova, a lonely older woman working nights at a small aquarium, and Marcellus, a brilliant giant Pacific octopus who secretly observes far more than anyone realizes. Their unlikely friendship helps unravel long‑buried family secrets, heal old grief, and connect the lives of people who never expected to find one another.

Pierce Brown doesn’t just write a sequel—he detonates one. Golden Son is a masterclass in escalation, ambition, and emotional devastation, taking everything Red Rising built and launching it into a brutal, operatic war among the stars.

First-Time Caller delivers exactly what it promises: a warm, flirty, slightly chaotic romance built around late‑night radio calls, anonymous confessions, and the slow burn of two people falling for each other without realizing how intertwined their lives already are.
