NOTES

A BLAZE OF STARFIRE AND SHADOWLysmera VaelthorneI was forged in starlight, raised to be pure, obedient, the perfect daughter of a Starveil seer. But when Zhaevor Nightreave, the ruthless Prior of Nightreave, claims me as his starbound sacrifice, my world of sacred rites and moonlit vows crumbles. His silver eyes burn through my defenses, his touch a fire that sears my soul. "You're mine, starlight," he growls, his voice a vow that binds me tighter than any chain. I should despise him-the cruel prince of a shadowed empire, a man who bends the Void itself to his will. But the way he watches me, like I'm the only flame in his endless night, ignites something dangerous within me. I'm no longer just the good girl. I'm the storm that could unravel his darkness-or consume us both. I hold his black heart in my hands, and I'll wield it like a blade.Zhaevor NightreaveI am the shadow that rules Nightreave, feared by all, bound by blood and duty to the Starveil's cruel order. Lysmera Vaelthorne was meant to be my sacrifice, a pawn in the Nightreave's ancient rites. But the moment I saw her-those storm-silver eyes, that defiant spark-she became my obsession, my salvation. "No one touches what's mine," I swear, my hands trembling with the need to claim her, protect her, possess her. She's everything I'm not-pure, fierce, unbroken-yet she sees the fractured soul beneath my crown. I should let her go, free her from this cursed world. But her fire is the only thing keeping me alive, and I'll burn the Voidsea to ash before I lose her. She's my starlight, and I'll shatter the heavens to keep her.In the gothic halls of Nightreave, where starfire burns and shadows whisper treachery, Lysmera and Zhaevor are bound by a love as dangerous as it is undeniable. Torn between sacred vows and forbidden desire, they navigate a world of blood-soaked rites, masked betrayals, and a father's devastating secret that threatens to tear them apart. Their passion is a blaze that could light the Void-or consume it entirely. In a realm where love is born in darkness, it doesn't just burn. It devours.Will they rise as one, or will the shadows claim them both?Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout, this dark, spicy romantasy weaves epic worldbuilding with heart-pounding romance, delivering a tale of power, betrayal, and a love that defies the stars themselves
