A morally grey witch crosses paths with a prince hiding a devastating secret, and the tension between threatens to unravel the entire magical system in their world.

She stole the stars. He was born to wield them.

Seren is a thief and a poisoner—a witch in a realm where witches are banished. When she accidentally reveals her forbidden power to Prince Silas, she exposes the secret she’s spent her life concealing, and binds her fate to the one man who should have condemned her.

Silas was born to wield the magic of the stars, yet the light of his bloodline has never burned in him. Together with his father, he conceals the truth from a kingdom that crowns him divine, even as the weight of that deception begins to fracture him. But as old magic stirs beneath the earth and the stars begin to burn anew, their collision threatens to unearth more than secrets. To save the realm, Silas must choose between duty, love, and the truth about his own magic.

KRISTA ROSS is a fantasy author who grew up in a small town in Canada. Always a creator, she would spend her days roaming the woods, building tree forts and getting lost in the made-up worlds of her imaginings. That passion for world building never went away, and now she loves to throw her characters into those beloved wooded adventures that took up so many of her days.

Outside of the creative, she is deeply fascinated with psychology, particularly the fields of early development, trauma, and psychopathology. This is something she strives to incorporate into her writing, particularly when it comes to creating deeply relatable, flawed, and morally grey characters.

When she is not writing, she is probably painting, designing, playing ukulele, or dancing in the grass with her son.
