You know the most dangerous kind of villain? A woman with nothing left to lose.

In a world ruled by the Stars, cruel and merciless gods, Elara has been cursed by fate.

A prophecy promises she will fall for a Star, but that it will kill them both.

Yet when the Star of Wrath and War descends to hunt Elara, the neighbouring kingdom sees an opportunity to take her from her home, the Kingdom of Night, to Helios, Kingdom of Light. Where she strides straight into the arms of an enemy prince.

There, Elara is forced to either let Prince Lorenzo train her into a weapon worthy of battling against the tyrannical reign of the Stars, or to accept her fate.

But there are shadows even within the Kingdom of Light – and they threaten to reveal the darkness in Lorenzo’s past and the ancient magic that slumbers in Elara’s veins.

And with it all, the undeniable, star-crossed pull between them…

Critic reviews

A debut romantasy novel from a TikTok phenomenon, it wouldn’t be a surprise if this follows in the hallowed halls of Sarah J Maas and others who have made this genre so popular

A scorching romance (Olivia Rose Darling, author of Fear the Flames)

Great!

This such a great book that I’m surprised it isn’t being talked about more. Though a bit formulaic at times in the plot, overall the characters and story are cleanly written and well developed. A really fun and quick read.
