A summary of what to expect in Chapter 2 of Eldair straight from the creator, Jemma:
A timid girl who loves to garden, a fierce debate champion with intense sibling rivalry, and a determined fencer, Embera, Indri, and Iva have their lives all figured out. At least until a mysterious boy claims their time is up, upends everything and steals them on a journey across the stars.
If you’ve already checked out the first chapter of Children of Eldair, this new chapter will take us back to the very beginning, filling in the missing puzzle pieces as to what happened to Embera before she ended up, near-death and traumatized, at Koe’s.

Congratulations to Nana del Mar on her winning submission to the Planetarium Music Composition Co/Create!
It’s no overstatement to say the creators of Planetarium were “over the moon” when they heard Nana's submission "Temper," which beautifully encapsulates the moment in the story where Luna assumes her role as the new spirit in charge of Earth’s Moon and learns to navigate the Solar System Corp with her hot temper.
Nana's vision for the thematic scoring involved synthesizers, special effects and lush orchestral sounds to immerse the audience in Luna's journey.
Check out her Co/Create submission to listen to "Temper" and learn more about her creative decisions for the song, follow her on Instagram and check out her website to learn more about her background and dive into her deep library of musical bangers, and stay tuned for updates on when “Temper” will be included in the Planetarium series!
And of course, check out the Prologue and Chapter 1 of Planetarium if you haven’t yet:
