Overview

A sweeping fantasy romance about a woman with a celestial secret and the prince whose kingdom would kill her for it. For eighteen years, Lyra has lived a sheltered life in the misty solitude of Onyx Keep, a haven for stargazers perched on the edge of the world. Born with twilight in her eyes and the whispers of stars in her mind, she is an anomaly, a foundling whose origins are as mysterious as the heavens themselves. Her only connection to her past is a dark, impossibly cold pearl-a relic of the shadow-kingdom Umbra, the sworn enemy of the light-worshipping realm of Lumina. But when a celestial wound tears across the sky, an ancient prophecy is invoked, and the fanatical rulers of Lumina come seeking a prophesied ""Bride of Stardust."" Lyra is identified, captured, and taken to the magnificent, shadow less city of Solara to be wed to the heir, Crown Prince Kaelen. To the sun-kingdom, she is a holy vessel, a political tool whose union with the prince is the only way to avert an apocalyptic war and heal the sky. Thrust into a court of blinding light and suffocating piety, Lyra must hide the Umbral pearl, the literal Heart of the Night, knowing its discovery means her execution. She finds an unexpected and dangerous ally in her betrothed, Prince Kaelen, a scholar trapped by his royal duty, whose sharp mind begins to see past the dogma of his people. Together, they uncover the horrifying truth: their wedding is no simple alliance but a sacrificial ritual designed to consume Lyra's power and her life. ""Bride of Stardust"" is a richly imagined tale of forbidden love and cosmic destiny. It explores the clash between identity and duty, the balance between light and darkness, and the breathtaking power of two souls who dare to defy their fate, risking everything not just to save their world, but to remake it.
