She was deemed to be a cursed princess, and how unfortunate am I, to have that as my second life.

Together, they must unravel a chilling prophecy involving the "Fallen Stars"-a series of tragic deaths among royalty. But as their bond grows and their discoveries deepen, Ezra learns a dark secret about her own origins and the sinister reason she was born without a starlight.
