"When the star-flower blooms beyond its mountain,
The one who endures shall mend the fracture of worlds.
Neither sky nor stone shall sway her heart,
For through her steps, the frozen paths shall thaw."
Astraea Edelweiss has always dreamed of seeing her favorite flower in real life. She never imagined it would find her.
One star-shaped bloom appears overnight in her backyard-and the moment she touches it, Astraea is hurled into a world of magic, prophecy, and danger. A realm built on a prophecy meant for a savior she is not.
The Keepers admit their mistake: they summoned the wrong human. The realm is fracturing. Winter spreads unchecked. Monsters slip through cracks in reality. They want her gone.
But Astraea refuses to leave. Not to fulfill the prophecy-but to rewrite it.
She discovers the truth long buried in ancient scrolls: the prophecy never said "he." It said: "The one who endures."
In a world that rejects her, with fate stacked against her, Astraea must defy magic, challenge myths, and prove that endurance-and courage-has no gender.
