Staborns are creatures forged from the stars themselves - beings of light and flame born under the celestial veil. Once protectors of the realm, they are now nearly extinct after the Queen's ruthless purge of the royal family and their allies.
Zhaphria, the last known Staborn child, was taken in by the very woman who destroyed her bloodline. Raised within the castle as an heir in training, she hides her hatred behind grace and obedience, biding her time. But when whispers of rebellion reach her ears - and a grandfather she never knew still lives - Zhaphria is drawn into a war that will pit starfire against shadow.
At the rebellion's heart is Kaiden, a charming yet dangerous leader who hides his own scars and secrets. His thirst for revenge burns as bright as Zhaphria's, but his motives are his own - and his loyalty may prove as shifting as the stars.
As darkness spreads and empires crumble, Zhaphria must decide whether she is a weapon of vengeance... or the light that ends the night.

Now the CIA is closing in, and Lena's only escape lies in the depths of an underwater kingdom she's never seen but somehow remembers. There, she discovers a father she thought was dead, the legacy of a mother still imprisoned, and a world teetering on the edge of war. But the Deep Fold is no fairy-tale refuge. Allies keep secrets. Enemies circle in the currents. And Kai-the boy she's beginning to trust with her heart-might be keeping the biggest secret of all. The tide has claimed her. The truth will test her.
