The Felling of Stars

There are those who believe the stars are nothing but dust...and those who believe they are keys to doors only few can open.

It has been over three hundred years since the fall of the last necromancer, and the great massacre that led to the vanishing of magic. Queen Lucinia's armies patrol the Redlands and guard the ocean borders, arresting heretics, enslaving the few mages and oracles that remain for her own use. Now, the world has turned to science, slowly beginning to forget about the tales of magic, and the stars.

Nineteen-year-old Sarynna Blacke is the last remaining Starborne, long thought by most to be extinct. Once revered as highly as gods, the Starborne possess the ability to open doors into the afterlife. With a power so deadly, Sarynna has spent years running from Lucinia, who is hell bent on raising the largest army of the dead the world has ever seen.

Their long game of hide and seek finally ends when Sarynna is captured and taken to the Red Iron Citadel, where she will be tortured until she fulfils the Queen's demands. One night, she is broken out of the dungeons by a rebel group of mages, an entirely new enemy who wish to resurrect the ancient necromancer. In a world where magic is slowly dying, the temptations these mages offer are almost too hard to resist. Who is the cold stranger among them, Aaro, a powerful mage with secrets to rival her own?

Stars will fall, and Sarynna will learn that monsters lurk at every corner.
But she might be the one monster to end the world entirely.
