What Is The Many Problems of Luka Erebi?

Twenty-year-old Luka Erebi has two problems: a fear of bugs she's desperately trying to photograph her way out of, and the sneaking suspicion that someone's watching her.

The last thing she needs is for her neighbor's prickly, yellow-eyed cousin to waltz back into her life. Wren Vespula has always been a lot, but they used to be good friends a long time ago.

Luka just never expected her to be this close again.

The Many Problems of Luka Erebi is a sapphic friends-to-enemies-to-lover story set on the Nation Islands of Insecta, where your status as a Native or an Invader matters more than who you love.

Luka Erebi

Citizen. Moth-coded. Poor judge of danger.

Luka is terrified of bugs. So she spends her free time taking pictures of them, chasing the shot that might finally kill her fear. It doesn't stop her heart from racing around Wren, her childhood best friend, who just walked back into Locust Town after ten years.

Wren Vespula

Invader. Wasp-coded. Honest to a fault.

After 10 years, Wren is back in Locust Town, sharp tongued and quick to snap. She's spent that time learning to cook, one of the few things that actually calms her down. Seeing Luka again for the first time in a decade throws that calm right out the window.

The Nation Islands of Insecta

Built by shipwrecked settlers. Carved up by two empires. Insecta won its freedom through revolution, but the people never stopped counting who arrived first.

Native, Citizen, Invader.

The label decides who the police protect, and who gets left to the gangs.

Locust Town

Home to Asacia Park, Lotus Academy, and the two kids who used to be inseparable here, until one of them disappeared for ten years. Locust Town is where Luka and Wren's story started, and where it's starting again.
