The stars gave them a gift. Someone wants to take it back.
Seventeen-year-old Elara Vance just wants to be normal, a tough feat in a world where a cosmic event has granted certain teens "Starlight Abilities." Her own power, hearing the ethereal echoes of distant supernovae, feels more like a persistent cosmic hum than a superpower. That is, until Starlight-Gifted kids start vanishing.
The echoes in Elara's mind shift from benign celestial whispers to chilling fragments of fear and desperation. Desperate to find answers, she's forced to team up with Caleb Thorne, a cynical loner whose ability to manipulate shadows makes him a reluctant ally. Caleb wants nothing to do with Elara's quest, but his own past is haunted by a similar disappearance, pulling him into the unfolding mystery.
As they dig deeper, they uncover the Astraea Collective, a powerful, clandestine organization convinced that Starlight Abilities are an abomination. They're "purifying" gifted teens, stripping them of their powers and forcing them back into anonymity, all in the name of saving humanity. But their methods are brutal, and their charismatic leader harbors a secret that could unravel everything.
Elara's echoes become a lifeline, offering glimpses of a terrifying future and revealing the Astraea Collective's true, devastating agenda. With Caleb's shadows as their only shield, they must race against time to expose the truth, save their friends, and fight for the right to exist in a world suddenly touched by the stars. The fate of a new humanity rests on their shoulders.All Rights Reserved

Unbound by PandamoniumTV

"Unbound" tells the story of sixteen-year-old Elara Vance, who struggles with a hidden, chaotic energy manipulation power. Feeling like an outsider, she receives a mysterious invitation to Zenith Academy, a hidden high school exclusively for super-powered individuals, hoping to understand and control her abilities. However, Zenith is a cutthroat environment where students are ranked by power, and Elara's unpredictable power immediately draws the disdain of Kael Thorne, the arrogant son of the school's founder. Elara quickly befriends Jax, a quick-witted teleporter, and Lena, a compassionate empath, who help her navigate the school's complex social dynamics. As students mysteriously begin to vanish or lose their powers, the trio uncovers unsettling inconsistencies pointing to a dark secret at the heart of Zenith Academy. They discover Director Valerius, the head of the academy, is secretly siphoning students' powers for his own agenda. When Jax and Lena are captured, Elara is at her lowest point, but cryptic advice from Professor Aris Thorne, Kael's uncle, encourages her to "trust her chaos". Kael, realizing his father is being manipulated by Valerius, reluctantly allies with Elara, using his technokinesis to help her. Elara must then unleash her chaotic power to overload Valerius's system and save her friends and the school from his tyrannical "order". The story explores themes of self-acceptance, finding one's place, the responsibility of power, and challenging authority.

Out of reach by thaamiajappie01

In the dark reaches of the galaxy, where stardust weaves forgotten histories and the silence of space hides ancient wars, a soul was torn in two. She was once called **Elara**-a name whispered in prophecy and shadowed by betrayal. She was more than human, more than weapon, more than myth. Her aura, a radiant force unlike any other, had once been the balance between destruction and hope. But the day she died, the galaxy changed forever. Or so they believed. Reborn in a world that had moved on without her, Elara awoke with fractured memories and instincts she could not explain. Beneath the surface of her skin, power surged-wild, untamed, and drawn to something... someone. Across the stars, **Fenix**, a once-proud captain and a haunted warrior, wandered the edge of war and reason. He carried with him a truth no one dared speak: he had loved Elara... and lost her. But the fire that bound them had never died. And now, it burned hotter than ever. Lurking behind it all was **Malrik**-a man driven mad by envy and darkness, hiding in the ruins of legacy and science. He did not just want power. He wanted her. Not for love, but for domination. If he couldn't possess her in life, he would resurrect her as a weapon of his will. As battle lines draw across planets and hearts, and destiny claws its way through time, one truth remains: What's been broken... always finds a way to reunite. Even if it burns the universe down in the process. ---

Anomalous by junorome

{COMPLETED!!} Autumn is ordinary. Completely ordinary. She goes to school, gets yelled at by her mom, comes home, gets yelled at more; normal. One day, the chain of mundane breaks, when she comes home to find two teens with a pitch in her house. They invite her to live with them, where she can be happier. Autumn reluctantly agrees, but she still has mountains of questions. How do they know her name? Why have they come to her? And why do they all act so suspicious around her? These questions make Autumn realize that things aren't ordinary in her new home, either. Thanks to Leila, for proof-reading, brainstorming, and helping me with this book. She deserves much more than just having a character named after her. ((Inspired by Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children))

Blood and Starlight Series Book 1 Bloodlust and Forbidden Desires by BossBrooke

Blood and Starlight is a Gothic paranormal romance that follows Adrian Thorne, a thirty-two-year-old literature professor in Boston, who encounters the mysterious Elara on a rooftop one October night. Their connection is immediate and electric, but Elara harbors a dangerous secret-she is a five-hundred-year-old vampire who has spent centuries trying to maintain her humanity while surviving on the blood of those who deserve it. As their forbidden love deepens, Adrian and Elara must navigate the treacherous waters between mortality and immortality. Their relationship faces obstacles from all sides: vampire hunters known as the Sanctum who seek to eliminate all vampires, the painful reality of Adrian's aging while Elara remains eternally young, and Elara's deep-seated fear of turning Adrian into the monster she's spent a century trying not to be. When the Sanctum discovers Elara, she becomes the first vampire to negotiate conditional clemency-agreeing to constant surveillance and restrictions in exchange for the right to exist. Her testimony before Congress makes vampire existence public knowledge and sparks a movement for vampire-human coexistence. Meanwhile, Adrian struggles with his mortality, eventually making a dangerous decision that forces both of them to confront what they're willing to sacrifice for love. As Adrian ages and their time together becomes more precious, a groundbreaking pilot program emerges that could change everything: sanctioned vampire transformations under medical supervision. Adrian and Elara must decide if eternal love is worth the risk of losing everything-including Adrian's humanity itself. This is a story about the nature of humanity, the ethics of immortality, the power of choice, and the question of what we're willing to become for those we love. It explores whether true partnership can exist across the divide between mortal and immortal, and ultimately asks: is love stronger than death, time, and the very nature of what we are?
