❝ With a touch of magic, humanity had somehow convinced themselves they were stars.❞ 

Aita Hunt is a ruinsome, good-for-nothing orphan. She intends to live her life quietly on the Requiem, one of several Orbises magically launched into the sky millennia ago by the Sky Masters to save the remainder of humanity from the end of the world. War, famine, or pestilence; Aita doesn't care. In order to be bound to one of two of her Marks of the Heart and save her mother from her eternal sleep, questions with infinite answers are not worth pondering. Quietly and dutifully, Aita had long ago decided.

But her Binding Ceremony changes that, a momentary mistake giving her one Mark of the Heart... and a Mark of the Blade, destining her to a fight to the death in order to be bound to her soulmate.
Aita Hunt is a ruinsome, good-for-nothing orphan, but she is bound to duty just as much as she is bound to the man she must marry, and the woman she must kill. She will do whatever it takes to win, forfeit not an option--even if that means accepting the mentorship of Requiem's Teller, one of the most powerful Sky Masters to date... 
But with his teachings come questions about the Orbises, Aita's own past, and whether love is a part of everything she's always wanted. Can she trust Teller to give her her answers, or will she have to steal them herself?
