Moonlight's Embrace

Ilaria "Ila" Vesper is a gifted astromancer and mapmaker bound to her moon, where her village has spent generations charting the stars. She dreams of venturing beyond her moon's orbit to uncover the mysteries of the universe, but a secret hidden in her bloodline keeps her tethered. Unbeknownst to her, Ila's celestial gift allows her to harness starlight's magic to navigate the uncharted worlds, a power passed down through her ancestors.

When she was a child, her father would tell her stories of a lost moon called Lunaris, a place of unimaginable power and treasure. But during the celestial alignment that happens every twelve years, he disappears without a trace. Now, twelve years later, Ila has finally pieced together the map he was making to find Lunaris-though it remains incomplete. The missing piece lies with a mysterious stranger, Killian vex, a rogue starship captain with a reputation as a thief.

After an encounter with Killian, Ila is kidnapped and brought aboard his ship, where she discovers the missing fragment-the Navigator's Star. Killian seeks Lunaris for reasons tied to his dark past, and only together can they unlock the full map to the lost moon. But as they travel across the galaxy, navigating ancient ruins and outsmarting treasure hunters, Ila's celestial abilities become vital to their mission. With danger closing in from every direction, and secrets about their connection to the ancient artifacts unraveling, Ila and Killian must confront their own desires and destinies.

In a galaxy on the brink of chaos, their forbidden bond becomes a powerful force-and a dangerous one. With the future of the stars at stake, Ila and Killian will have to decide if they can rewrite the stars-or if their love will destroy them all.
