BLADE OF A THOUSAND STARS

Skilled thief Valerie Saunet will do almost anything to provide for the people most important to her, taking on jobs no other thief in Valera would. She thrives under the tutelage of her master, Firo, Valera's most notorious merchant lord.
When a job lands Valerie in a long-forgotten tomb, and she accidently frees a magical blade imbued with powerful, ancient magic, she is plunged headfirst into a generations long struggle between those gifted with magic and those who fear it. After she catches the eyes of the crown, she is forced to work for the magic hating King of Valera to win her freedom. One wrong moves could mean death for not only her, but her friends, Giana and Natascha. But, while fighting for her freedom, Valerie finds herself inexplicably drawn to the surly, quiet Prince, despite her best efforts. And he's as interested in her as she is in him.
When a magical attack nearly claims the life of the King, Valerie finds herself thrust into a world of opposing thrones and ancient magic she can't even begin to fathom. She must decide what the lives of her newfound people truly mean to her and if her quest for magic and power are worth her life.
BLADE OF A THOUSAND STARS is a new adult high fantasy. It will appeal to fans of Holly Black's The Darkest Part of the Forest and Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash series.
