The Convergence was supposed to be a wonder - a celestial event etched in fire and light across the heavens. But when the stars fell, they didn't bring answers. They brought power. And ruin.

And how do you fight when the enemy wears your face? As rebellion sparks in hidden camps and whispers of power ripple through survivors, Ivy must choose what kind of flame she wants to be - a weapon of vengeance, or a light to lead others home. Beautifully haunting and fiercely hopeful, Celestial Divide is a story of fire and fracture, of identity forged in ashes - and a girl who refuses to burn quietly.Complete

Selena - The Twin Moons
A young orphan with unique powers is on the run from assassins alongside a mysterious young man. 🌙 When passion and power collide, nothing-not even a prophecy-can dictate the future. 🌙 Selena wasn't meant to exist. Newly arrived in a distant family, she discovers she carries the powers of two feuding Lunn lineages: telekinetics and telepaths. An impossible combination that inspires both awe and fear. Hunted and thrust into the center of an ancient, ambiguous prophecy, she's forced to ally with Nikolas, an elusive boy whose cunning and silence conceal dangerous secrets. Between mistrust, biting remarks, and attraction, neither dares to admit a fragile bond form. Essential. And ready to shatter at the slightest misstep. While the prophecy identifies her as the phoenix, it also cautions that through her, an evil force will awaken. The enigma persists: is this shadow an object, or a person? Amid betrayals and revelations, hatred and passion, Selena must find her place in a world where power is memory and emotion-and where love may prove her greatest weakness. 🌙 If you enjoy low-fantasy tales with romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, this novel is for you. 🌙 A huuge thank you to @BleuSaphir51 for the stunning cover (which I translated)!
