A life spent on the run, Astra understands they are hiding to save her future and possibly her life.  But what 17-year-old wants to be stuck with their mom day and night jumping realms to keep them safe even if their mom has cool magical powers of a Blood Healer. 
     
    After being whisked away by Garreth, a reaper who claims to have her best interests at heart--even though he seems to act otherwise, she meets Lucian. With the latter being a handsome young heir to the lordship of her home realm creates its own problems. Like the vendetta Astra's mother has against his family.
     
    As she waits for her Blood Reading on her 18th birthday, she feels pulled in so many directions, torn between kingdoms, and realms, the love of an heir, and the safety of the rogue reaper.  She doesn't even get to choose her future since it will be told to her at her blood reading but that doesn't change what she wishes for in her heart.
     
    Can the desires in her heart change the outcome of her reading so that her future will be the one she wants and not the one she fears she is destined for?

On Earth, there exists Astra Sera. A child prodigy turned chief astronomer who wants to discover this world, who wants to escape her reality to connect with those that dwell beyond the stars. In pursuit of this, she predicts a cosmic anomaly, one that defies physics and hints at the heavens that lie beyond human comprehension. But Astra Sera isn't the most normal astronomer. In her pursuit of the heavens, she has developed an unnatural connection with it. And, in her search to resonate with the divine, she has lost touch of human connection, even for those who she cares about. Suddenly, the barriers between reality shifts! In a terrifying cosmic event, everyone on Earth gets transported to a world that is entirely supernatural! One that combines the rigid rules of science and the strange fluidity of magic. The rationale (or lack thereof) of humans and the absurd nature of the divine! It is a world that has Gods, demigods, Angels, constellations and mysterious beings all fighting for dominance! A world that has vast beauties of technology in the far future, but abundant dangers in trying to reach the higher realms! A world that has little opportunities to get more powerful but has endless ways of turning insane! Will Astra continue to reach for the heavens as the world that is touched by it is constantly riddled with madness, darkness, corruption and insanity, or will she go against her nature and try to understand the very thing that makes us human-connection?

| 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 • 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 | RUTHLESS POLITICS Aster Jacques' predecessor is dead, his capital ruined, and his people struggling to fight back against their most hated enemy. Determined to save the country he loves, he prepares to take the throne he fears. Upon returning home, though, the Ladies of the court connive to make him more puppet than prince. DEADLY SECRETS As he fights to untangle their web of lies, he finds a far more frightening truth-someone in the castle hides a traitorous secret. Unsure who to trust, he swears to forge his path alone. But when a vengeful witch offers him a deal and the girl he cares for tangles herself into the danger, he'll be forced to befriend darknesses he'd rather run from than face. A LAND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE UNCONQUERABLE From within and without, Aster's world teeters on the brink of collapse. When lies, love, and war collide, even magic won't be enough to save everyone.
