"I defy the stars." In a world where no entities exist but the Stars, cruel and merciless gods that watch over the world, Elara has been cursed by fate. A prophecy that promises she will fall for a Star, and it will kill them both. But when one descends to wreak havoc on Elara's Kingdom, she is forced to flee into the arms of her enemy in the neighbouring country. As she learns more about her own magic, and the depth of the Stars' deceit, she also finds herself learning more about the country she is forced to take refuge in, and the enemy prince forced to train her into a weapon. Something dark brews within her, a power made of night and shadows that begs to be broken free.

“Stars will fall.” Elara is vengeful. Her love is in a deep sleep, trapped between the realms of life and death. Her enemy has vanished, Enzo’s only connection to the waking world with him. And a life that Elara has never wanted has been thrust upon her, along with a new power she can not control. Now a disgraced queen, Elara must go on a quest to find a way to wake Enzo, while also seeking help from the Titans, a league of gods who ruled the world long before the Stars. But there is a darker power at play, one that even Ariete, King of the Stars, is afraid of. With enemies at every turn, Elara must tread carefully if she has any hope of waking her soulmate, and keeping the promise she made - that every Star will fall.
