Alechia answered a question about A Song of Salvation: How does this book connect to The Sound of Stars and The Kindred? Hey, thanks for asking! A Song of Salvation features characters from both The Sound of Stars and The Kindred. It is the conclusion to that universe/conflict, including the events at the end of The Sound of Stars!
