Starlight and Steel

In the realm of Aethel, where magic flows like the heartbeat of the land, best friends Eira and Gareth stand on the precipice of lives they cannot escape. Born to a humble seamstress, Eira is haunted by a magic that runs deeper than the threads she sews. Her gift-a raw, untamed power-has always been a secret. But in a world where magic is both a blessing and a curse, keeping her true self hidden becomes a dangerous game.

Gareth, burdened by his family's legacy, seeks to make a name for himself as a knight. But when his kingdom's laws clash with his beliefs, he must choose between following his brother's footsteps or forging a new destiny of his own. As their paths diverge, the bond between them grows more complicated.

Thrown into a world of political intrigue, ancient secrets, and dangerous loyalties, Eira and Gareth must confront their destinies, the dangerous power that lies within Eira, and the choices that could either destroy or save the realm they both call home. In a realm where the past holds deadly mysteries and magic shapes the future, their friendship (and blossoming romance) will be tested in ways they never imagined.

In a world where love and power are intertwined, and the very fabric of reality can be torn apart, will Eira and Gareth find a way to protect each other-and themselves-before everything they hold dear is lost forever?
