In The Stars

Born five minutes apart in a war-torn village, Andraea and Lucien were all each other had. Music, cake, and midnight hair-dye sessions kept them tethered to hope through poverty, abuse, and tragedy. But one burning night stole their futures and their lives... until the gods gave them a second chance. Now Champions of the Gods, they walk the line between myth and shadow, loyalty and fate, life and afterlife.

She was a ballerina, a musician, a rising star in the gilded world of Songhaven's elite. Then she died. Resurrected under Stella's blade and stripped of everything but her will to live, Andraea trains under Sirius, the South Star. a divine tactician colder than the halls of Etharis. He's supposed to teach her how to kill, not how to feel. But the more they learn about the god-turning sickness spreading through the heavens, the more Sirius begins to crack. Somewhere between missions and moonlight, between grief and growing heat, she begins to wonder: what if the enemy they're hunting isn't an enemy at all?

Lucien's life was simple: kill the people on your list, flirt with death, eat cake. (In that order.) He was doing just fine until he offed a mortal judge and accidentally pissed off Astraea, the Scales Star, who had been planning a divine judgment of her own. She ropes him into being her bodyguard just to make him miserable. Cleaning scrolls. Watching birds. Counting wheat. But everything changes when she suddenly turns mortal. Now, stuck with a grumpy ex-goddess and no divine guidance, Lucien must help her get her immortality back before time runs out. Along the way, he'll face divine hit lists, cosmic secrets, and worst of all, falling for the one star he never meant to touch.
