There are those who believe the stars are nothing but dust...and those who believe they are keys to doors only few can open. It has been over three hundred years since the fall of the last necromancer, and the great massacre that led to the vanishing of magic. Queen Lucinia's armies patrol the Redlands and guard the ocean borders, arresting heretics, enslaving the few mages and oracles that remain for her own use. Now, the world has turned to science, slowly beginning to forget about the tales of magic, and the stars. Nineteen-year-old Sarynna Blacke is the last remaining Starborne, long thought by most to be extinct. Once revered as highly as gods, the Starborne possess the ability to open doors into the afterlife. With a power so deadly, Sarynna has spent years running from Lucinia, who is hell bent on raising the largest army of the dead the world has ever seen. Their long game of hide and seek finally ends when Sarynna is captured and taken to the Red Iron Citadel, where she will be tortured until she fulfils the Queen's demands. One night, she is broken out of the dungeons by a rebel group of mages, an entirely new enemy who wish to resurrect the ancient necromancer. In a world where magic is slowly dying, the temptations these mages offer are almost too hard to resist. Who is the cold stranger among them, Aaro, a powerful mage with secrets to rival her own? Stars will fall, and Sarynna will learn that monsters lurk at every corner. But she might be the one monster to end the world entirely.

But, is it possible to change the fate of someone that thrives in darkness? [This story is a work in progress. I simply write, post, and save the editing for later. Expect a lot of mistakes.

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice.

'Don't look, Lillian. Never look into the eyes of a Sin-Eater, you will be as cursed as he is and will forever languish in darkness.' Lillian Elmes remembers the warning her mother gave her about the town's Sin-Eater only too well. How could she not when she'd ignored it as a child, only to find herself plagued with nightmares when she'd seen with her own eyes what the dark work of the Sin-Eaters entailed? Now an adult, Lilian's curiosity still burns deep, especially when she crosses paths again with the town's freshly-appointed Sin-Eater, the mysterious and strangely alluring, Daniel Carver. Desperate to find out whether the rumours about the dark priests are true, Lillian makes the journey into the forest to spy on Daniel in his woodland cottage, only to realise that she really should have heeded her mother's warning all those years before. For Lillian Elmes, looking into the eyes of the Sin-Eater is going to bring her far more than she had ever imagined it would - murder and mayhem, ghosts that just won't lay to rest and an attraction that might just be more lethal than the undead who've started rising from their graves.
